On-line signature verification based on logarithmic spectrum

Abstract

In this paper, an on-line signature verification scheme based on similarity measurement of logarithmic spectrum is proposed. The principal components of the logarithmic spectrum of each signature are extracted. We then compute the similarity of logarithmic spectrum between input signature and the reference template. By comparing the similarity of logarithmic spectrum with the verification threshold, we can determine the authenticity of the input signature. Based on the experimentation, the rates of false rejection errors and false acceptance errors are as low as 1.4 and 2.8%, respectively. This demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.
