Abstract

Signature is a biometric trait that has piqued the interest of researchers. This is due to its high rate of acceptability. Offline signature in particular, has been around for a while and hence its suitability as a biometric trait. This paper proposes an offline signature recognition system using a multiple algorithm approach. The system accepts handwritten signature, filters the signature and crops the signature region. The Local Binary Pattern (LBP) of the signature image is then obtained. After this, Grey Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) is applied. Statistical features are then extracted. The difference in the stored features and the extracted features was obtained. The output is compared with a threshold for discrimination. This research aims at improving the performance of offline signature recognition using its textural features. The designed system gave an FRR and FAR of 8.6%, 4.6% respectively for MYCT signature database and 8.8%, 5.2% for GPDS signature database.
