Extraction of features from signature image and signature verification using clustering techniques

Abstract

Humans are comfortable with pen and papers for authentication and authorization in legal transactions. In this case it is very much essential that a person's Hand written signature to be identified uniquely. The development of efficient technique is to extract features from Handwritten Signature Image and verify the signature with higher accuracy. This paper presents a method for off line hand written signature verification with higher accuracy. In this paper we have introduced a procedure to extract features from Handwritten Signature Images. That computed feature is used for verification. Here we used a clustering technique for verification. © 2010 Springer-Verlag.
