Efficient Handwritten Signatures Identification using Machine Learning

Abstract: Any agreement or contract between two or more parties requires at least one party to employ a signature as evidence of the other parties' identities and as a means of establishing the parties' intent. As a result, more people are curious about Signature Recognition than other biometric methods like fingerprint scanning. Utilizing both Fourier Descriptors and histogram of oriented gradients (HOG) features, this paper presents an efficient algorithms for signature recognition. The use of Local binary patterns (LBP) features in a signature verification technique has been proposed. Using morphological techniques, the signature is encapsulated within a curve that is both symmetrical and a good match. Measured by the frequency with which incorrect patterns are confirmed by a given system, false acceptance rate (FAR) provides an indication of the effectiveness and precision of the proposed system. Using a local dataset of 60 test signature patterns, this investigation found that 10% were incorrectly accepted for FAR of 0.169. Experiments are conducted on signature photos from a local dataset. Verification of signatures has previously made use of KNN classifier. KNN classifier produced higher FARs and recognition accuracies than prior techniques.
