We implemented two direct methods for on-line signature verification. First, data produced by a graphics tablet describing a signature to be tested are treated with wavelet transforms to generate features to be nonlinearly confronted with a reference signature chosen among 10 previously stored tryings from the same writer. In order to recover the time dependence lost in the wavelet treatment, we included the level of departure from the diagonal line in the warping function as a complementary measure of distance. In a second approach, the functions x(t) and y(t) describing position in time of each pixel of the same test signature were directly (though nonlinearly) compared to their counterparts from the reference. We concluded that both approaches showed good fidelity to all details in the signatures, with acceptable false rejection rates (we obtained around 30% FRR) to this kind of biometry. On the other hand, the inclusion of the wavelet transform turned out to be an essential step for the achievement of low false acceptation rates. It was only with the inclusion of the wavelet transform, at the right level of resolution, that we managed to completely prevent trained forgeries to be accepted (0% FAR) in the cases studied.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
