In this paper, we propose a new approach for offline signature verification based on score level fusion of distance and orientation features of centroids. The proposed method employs symbolic representation of offline signatures using bi-interval valued feature vector. Distance and orientation features of centroids of offline signatures are used to form bi-interval valued symbolic feature vecto...

This article is focused on signature dynamics that is used for protection of qualified electronic signature functions and personal data on mobile platforms. The article presents a concept of the Trusted Pocket Signer (trustworthy PDA with integrated SmartCard used as Secure Signature Creation Device (SSCD)), role of biometrics within this concept, and major handwritten signature algorithm strat...

This paper proposes a novel language model based combination method for ensembles of offline handwritten text line recognisers. The individual recognisers are based on hidden Markov models and the ensembles are generated with the bagging method. The proposed combination method extends the ROVER framework by rescoring the word transition networks with a language model. Experiments conducted on a...
