Signature recognition is a behavioural biometric. It can be operated in two different ways:
Static: In this mode, users write their signature on paper, digitize it through an optical scanner or a camera, and the biometric system recognizes the signature analyzing its shape. This group is also known as “off-line”.
Dynamic: In this mode, users write their signature in a digitizing tablet, which acquires the signature in real time. Another possibility is the acquisition by means of stylus-operated PDAs. Dynamic recognition is also known as “on-line”.
The state-of-the-art in signature recognition can be found in the last major international competition.[1]
The most popular pattern recognition techniques applied for signature recognition are Dynamic Time Warping (DTW), Hidden Markov Models (HMM) and Vector Quantization (VQ).
Related techniques
Recently, a handwriten biometric approach has also been proposed.[2] In this case, the user is recognized analyzing his handwritten text (see also Handwritten biometric recognition).
Databases
Several public databases exist, being the most popular ones SVC,[3] and MCYT.[4]
