Abstract :
This paper presents an off-line signature verification system. The verification is based on signature shape descriptors such as the skeleton, upper and lower envelopes, and the high pressure region of the signatures. Multiple multilayer perceptron neural network modules cooperating in taking a verification decision via a fuzzy integral voter are used. This method is capable of verifying simple and skilled forgeries with a good performance.
