Abstract

This paper deals with the Signature Data Formats proposed by ISO 19794 project: 19794 part 7 Full Format and Compact Format (published in 2007) and the new 19794 part 11, which is under development. It will be shown how these formats handle the raw data coming from a Signature Input Device, and what the size of a Biometric Information Record is for each one. Another compression method, using LZ77 compression algorithm, is proposed and tested. The paper will also show the impact of using these compact formats on the performance of two different algorithms: Dynamic Time Warping and Gaussian Mixture Models. MCyT and SVC2004 signature databases have been used to carry out all tests.
