Offline Hindi Signature Recognition Using Surf Feature Extraction and Neural Networks Approach

Harpreet Kaur, Simarjeet Kaur

Abstract: : The signatures are one of the ways to identify the signer. Signature recognition is the process of verifying the persons identity by checking their signature with the signatures which are stored in the database. This process is of two types: offline and online. This paper deals with the offline technique. This technique recognizes the person whether he/she is genuine or forged. In this paper the offline signature recognition technique is proposed using neural networks and surf feature extraction. The signatures are taken as an image form, which are captured by any camera or digital scanner. The parameter are extracted with the help of surf feature extraction method is proposed. The feature extraction is the key to develop the offline signature recognition system. The proposed code is implemented on the Matlab software.
