Abstract

We propose in this work to perform on-line signature verification by the fusion of two complementary verification modules. The first one considers a signature as a sequence of points and models the genuine signatures of a given signer by a Hidden Markov Model (HMM). Forgeries are used to compute a decision threshold. In the second module, global parameters of a signature are the inputs of a two-classes neural network trained for each signer on both the genuine and "other" signatures (genuine signatures of other signers). Fusion of the scores given by these two experts through a Support Vector Machine (SVM), allows improving the results over those of each module, on Philips' Database.
