Abstract

Function-based methods for on-line signature verification are studied. These methods are classified into local and regional depending on the features used for matching. One representative method of each class is selected from the literature. The selected local and regional methods are based on Dynamic Time Warping and Hidden Markov Models, respectively. Some improvements are presented for the local method aimed at strengthening the performance against skilled forgeries. The two methods are compared following the protocol defined in the Signature Verification Competition 2004. Fusion results are also provided demonstrating the complementary nature of these two approaches.
