Among the biometrics, signature shows more larger variation than the other biometrics such as fingerprint and iris. In order to overcome this problem, we propose a robust offline signature verification method based on PCA and LDA. Signature is projected to vertical and horizontal axes by new grid partition method. And then feature extraction and decision is performed by PCA and LDA. Experimental results show that the proposed offline signature verification has lower False Reject Rate(FRR) and False Acceptance Rate(FAR) which are 1.45% and 2.1%, respectively.

This paper is concerning off-line signature verification using a density function which is obtained by convolving the signature image with twelve-directional $5\times{5}$ gradient masks and the weighted fuzzy mean classifier. The twelve-directional density function based on Nevatia-Babu template gradient is related to the overall shape of a signature image and thus, utilized as a feature set. The weighted fuzzy mean classifier with the reference feature vectors extracted from only genuine signature samples is evaluated for the verification of freehand forgeries. The experimental results show that the proposed system can classify a signature whether it is genuine or forged with more than 98% overall accuracy even without any knowledge of varied freehand forgeries.

There are many research activities in various recognition areas using high calibered computing power. Among many areas, the signature recognition and verification have more difficulties than any other recognition area because signature itself contains many problems caused by a variation of psychological status of signer and other environment. In the case of signature, therefore, it is important to extract the better parameters required for the higher verification ratio. In this paper, signature pressure is extracted and used as feature parameters to determine whether the input signature is ture or forgery, and then input signature is verified by fuzzy similarity method. As a result of appling the fuzzy similarity method to the recognition system it is proven that the system has by far better verification ratio about 10% than existing methods.

필적 감정은 개인의 고유한 필적 개성을 이용하여 임의의 두 필기 문장 또는 텍스트가 동일인에 의해 작성되었는지를 판별하는 기술로 유서대필 및 보안수사, 서명의 검증, 범죄 수사 등에 활용되어지고 있다. 이러한 작업은 감정 전문가의 판단기준에 의해 필적의 유사성을 판별하기 때문에 객관성 결여 및 과도한 소요 시간, 과도한 처리비용의 문제를 내포하게 된다. 이러한 문제를 해결하여 판별의 객관성과 업무의 신속한 처리를 가능하게 하기 본 논문에서는 컴퓨터를 통한 패턴 분석을 적용하여 두 필적의 유사성을 판별하는 방법을 본 논문에서는 제안한다. 이를 위하여 본 논문은 학습단계와 자동분석단계로 나뉘며, 학습단계에서는 입력된 문서영상에서 필적의 영역을 추출한 후, 특징을 추출하고 DTW연산을 통하여 학습을 한다. 자동분석단계에서는 대조할 문서영상에서의 특징을 추출하고 입력된 문서영상과 대조할 문서영상간의 마할라노비스 거리(Mahalanobis Distance)를 구하여 서명 및 필적에 대한 유사도를 도출한다. 실험은 4명의 필적을 이용하여 비교하였으며, 우수한 결과를 보였다.

This paper delas with the detection of freehand forgeries of signatures based on the averaged directional amplitudes of gradient vetor which are related to the overall shape of the handwritten signature and fuzzy ARTMAP neural network classifier. In the first step, signature images are extracted from the background by a process involving noise reduction and automatic thresholding. Next, twelve directional amplitudes of gradient vector for each pixel on the signature line are measure and averaged through the entire signature image. With these twelve averaged directional gradient amplitudes, the fuzzy ARTMAP neural network is trained and tested for the detection of freehand forgeries of singatures. The experimental results show that the fuzzy ARTMAP neural network cna lcassify a signature whether genuine or forged with greater than 95% overall accuracy.

Handwriting verification is a technique of distinguishing the same person's handwriting specimen from imitations with any two or more texts using one's handwriting individuality. This paper suggests an effective verification method for the handwritten signature or text on the off-line environment using pattern recognition technology. The core processes of the method which has been researched in this paper are extraction of letter area, extraction of features employing structural characteristics of handwritten text, feature analysis employing DTW(Dynamic Time Warping) algorithm and PCA(Principal Component Analysis). The experimental results show a superior performance of the suggested method.
