Off-line handwritten signature verification

Abstract

Off-line handwritten signature is broadly used for personal identification in financial, commercial and legal document bindings. The automatic verification of human handwritten signature is a key research area with respect to improve the verification of forged signature and to reduce the crimes. The objective of this research is to provide a fast, reliable, and easy method to verify off-line handwritten signatures. Image processing techniques and Artificial Neural Network (ANN) are used in this research to achieve a better performance. This research is evaluated on a benchmark dataset , which contains 24 people,s signatures. five genunie and five fOff-line handwritten signature is broadly used for personal identification in financial, commercial and legal document bindings.
