Abstract

This paper presents a novel approach that uses the dynamic time warping (DTW) to match the crucial points of signatures. Firstly, the signatures are aligned through the DTW and the crucial points of signatures are matched according to the mapping between the signatures. Then the signatures are segmented at these matched crucial points and the comparisons are accomplished between these segments. Experimental results show that such a strategy is quite promising.
