A NOVEL APPROACH FOR AUTHENTICATION OF ONLINE HANDWRITTEN SIGNATURE BASED ON RESIDUALS, POLES AND ZEROS

Abstract

This paper proposes an online signature authentication based on polynomial modeling. The derived feature acceleration is used. The order of the polynomial is carefully selected for each subject using the acceleration vector. The dynamic warping algorithm and mean squared error measure aid in standard template selection process for a subject. The best fit order is directly dependent on the cursive information of the signature sample. We provide a practical analysis of residual term, number of zeros inside the unit circle and distance measure on pole values for the purpose of classification. Storing order and standard template for a subject, reduces the runtime and memory requirements for a dynamic system. The best performance was achieved based on the number of zeros inside unit circle with false rejection rate as 5% and false acceptance rate as 7%. The aim of the work is to provide simple robust authentication suitable for hand held devices. Even compared to state-of art experiments, the proposed system is aimed to provide authentication using a single derived feature.
