Even though most areas, including land records, agreements between parties, legal certificates, identification cards, etc., are moving toward digital documents with signatures for authentication, uses only a signature written by hand. Verifying is crucial because false would have significant impact on the actual owner. Therefore, it essential to recognize genuine in order avoid such frauds. In ...

This paper presents a secure real-time remote user authentication system based on dynamic handwritten signature verification. The system allows users to establish their identities to other parties in real-time via a trusted verification server. The system can be used to gain remote access to restricted content on a server or to verify a signature on a legal document. State of the art dynamic ve...

Recently several papers have appeared in the literature which propose pseudo-dynamic features for automatic static handwritten signature verification based on the use of gray level values from signature stroke pixels. Good results have been obtained using rotation invariant uniform local binary patterns LBP plus LBP and statistical measures from gray level co-occurrence matrices (GLCM) with MCY...

This paper describes the method to recognize offline handwritten characters. A robust algorithm for handwriting segmentation is described here with the help of which individual characters can be segmented from a selected word from a paragraph of handwritten text image which is given as input.

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 ...

Handwritten character recognition of Urdu script based languages is one of the most difficult task due to complexities of the script. Urdu script based languages has not received much attestation even this script is used more than 1/6th of the population. The complexities in the script makes more complicated the recognition process. The problem in handwritten numeral recognition is the shape si...

Character recognition techniques associate a symbolic identity with the image of character. Character recognition is commonly referred to as optical character recognition (OCR), as it deals with the recognition of optically processed characters. Handwriting recognition has been one of the most interesting and challenging research areas in the field of image processing and pattern recognition in...

Offline Handwritten Word Recognition (HWR) plays a major role in the field of image processing and pattern recognition. Compared to online recognition, handwritten words cannot be identified easily because of the variations in the handwriting styles, type of paper used, quality of the scanner etc. In our paper we have focused on the Kannada handwritten word recognition. Large number of characte...
