A Multi-Expert Signature Verification System for Bankcheck Processing

Abstract

In this paper a multi-expert signature verification system is presented. The system has been specifically designed for applications in the field of bankcheck processing. For this purpose, it combines three different algorithms for signature verification. A wholistic approach is used in the first algorithm, a component-oriented approach is used in the second and third algorithms. The second algorithm is based on a structure-based procedure, the third algorithm uses a highly-adaptive neural network. The three algorithms are combined in the multi-expert system by a voting strategy.
