Offline-line Signature Verification and Recognition: An Approach Based on Four Speed Stroke Angle

This paper proposes a novel offline signature verification scheme. The idea behind the extraction of stroke speed is to extract dynamic feature from a static signature. In order to obtain the speed of the stroke, the intensity of the stroke is considered. This is because intensity is directly proportional to speed of the stroke. Faster the stroke speed, higher is its intensity value. Several experiments are conducted to demonstrate the ability of the proposed scheme in discriminating the genuine signatures from the forgeries.
