Automated Offline Signature Verification Using Deep Learning Techniques
摘要
By reducing human mistakes in manual verification, the Offline Signature Forgery Detection System personal authentication is automated. The preprocessing steps for scanned signature images (gray scale, Otsu’s binarization, segmentation) are followed by extracting handmade features (pixel density ratio, centroid, eccentricity, solidity, skewness, and kurtosis). A shallow MLP classifier (Tensor Flow 1.x) was developed to segregate authentic and forged signatures using these features. This method performs admirably, is easy to understand, and does well in some limited circumstances. We have demonstrated good accuracy on test/train, so this has potential to interface with deep learning or hybrid models in the future.
