Description
Summary:碩士 === 元智工學院 === 電機與資訊工程研究所 === 84 === Signing is a ballistic motion that involves an unconscious reflex action. The writer is generally thinking about what heis signing rather than how to spell his name or form thatwriting. Because of the difference in musculature, individualvariations in dynamic characteristics of handwriting lead oneto expect that it is possible to detect forgeries. An accurateand efficient similarity measure algorithm is proposed in thisstudy that can be used to check whether a test signature isgenuine or not. By applying the transformation processdeveloped in [1], the spatial difference of signatures thatcaused by natural variability is corrected roughly, and thecorresponding stroke segments between the test signature and thereference signature are matched properly. In order to obtainmore accurate results, the curve matching algorithm proposedby Tseng [2] is modified to calculate the similarity measurefor each matched stroke segment pair. Both of the static anddynamic similarities of the two signatures are calculatedutilizing the Fourier descriptors. These values will be used tocheck whether the test signature is genuine or not. Theadvantages of the method includes: (1) comparing both of thestatic and the dynamic signals of the signatures can increase the stability of the system; (2) calculating the similarities for each matched stroke segment pair will increase the accuracyof the system; and (3) applying the same similarity computationalgorithm to both the static and the dynamic signals makes thesystem more efficient.
