On-line signature verification based on FIR system characterizing velocity and direction change of barycenter trajectory

We propose an on-line signature verification method based on finite impulse response(FIR) system characterizing velocity and direction change of barycenter trajectory. First, the discrete cosine transforms (DCTs) of the characteristics are used to reduce fluctuation and extract the feature of handwriting in signing process. Then the signature verification system is realized by the three FIR subsystems. The obtained impulse responses of the three FIR subsystems are used as the individual feature for signature verification. Signature can be verified by evaluating the difference between the impulse responses of the FIR subsystems for a reference signature and the signature to be verified. The signature verification experiments were performed on the SUBCORPUS-100 MCYT signature database consisting of 5,000 signatures from 100 signers.
