The design of an intelligent signature processing system for banking environment

Presents the design of an intelligent signature processing system for the banking environment. The system is known as AutoSIG which provides facilities to capture, display, manipulate and edit customers´ signatures to help signature verification. In addition, automatic signature recognition is also supported. The goal of the system is to enable the bank personnel to work more efficiently and at the same time, to make a better judgment on signature verification. We discuss the functional and system requirements of AutoSIG. The architecture of AutoSIG is also outlined. The AutoSIG consists of a set of tools which include a capture tool, a display tool, an image editor and an automatic signature verification tool. A signature database is used to store signature images. Image compression/decompression is also performed to reduce the storage capacity required
