Abstract

To reduce fraud in financial transactions, signature verification is important for security purposes. In this paper, an attempt has been made to analysis the performance of off-line handwritten signature verification using image-based features. Photocopies and scanned documents are considered as the best possible evidence in the situations when the original documents are either lost or damaged. Although the photocopies are the filtered images of original information and do not reproduce details as in the original documents. In this paper, combinations of four features, i.e., Average object area, mean, Euler number and area of signature image is used to verify the signature. Publically available database BHsig260 is used. In this database, two types of signature are available, i.e.,Bengali and Hindi. Proposed work shows that accuracy of Hindi off-line signature verification is 78.5% with sample size of 15 and accuracy of Bengali off-line signature verification is 69.1 with sample size of 20.
