This paper proposes a novel grid-based template matching scheme for off-line signature
analysis and verification. At the heart of the new method lies the efficient encoding of the …

In this paper, an efficient offline signature verification method based on an interval symbolic
representation and a fuzzy similarity measure is proposed. In the feature extraction step, a …

In this paper, a writer-dependent signature verification method is proposed. Two different
types of texture features, namely discrete wavelet and local quantized patterns (LQP) …

In practice, each writer provides only a limited number of signature samples to design a
signature verification (SV) system. Hybrid generative–discriminative ensembles of classifiers …
