Abstract

This paper presents an on-line signature biometric system based on a modified Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) algorithm applied to the signature wavelet coefficients. The modification on DTW relies on the use of direct matching points information (DMP) to dynamically adapt the similarity measure during the matching process, which is shown to increase the verification success rate. The wavelet analysis is done using a sub-band coding algorithm at global and local level. The use of wavelet coefficients showed a considerable reduction in processing time and an improvement in the equal error recognition rate (EER). The system was tested using a locally constructed database. A comparison of the ROC curves obtained in each case is presented.
