Abstract

Handwritten Signature Verification (HSV) systems have been introduced to automatically verify the authenticity of a user signature. In offline systems, the handwritten signature (represented as an image) is taken from a scanned document, while in online systems, pen tablets are used to register signature dynamics (e.g., its position, pressure and velocity). The main contribution of this work is a new HSV algorithm specifically designed for running on low-end mobile devices. Towards this end, we report the results of an experimental evaluation of our system on different handwritten signature datasets.
