Abstract

In this paper, we propose a novel hybrid deep learning based autoencoder-CNN-Softmax architecture aims at obtaining reduced dimension feature set from raw feature set. The reduced feature set forms an input to CNN layers to learn deep global features. These global features are used to train the SoftMax layer for online signature classification. Ability to reduce the noisy features and to discover the hidden corelated features makes the proposed architecture light weight and efficient to use in critical applications like online signature verification (OSV) and to deploy in resource constraint mobile devices. We demonstrate the superiority of our model for feature correlation learning and signature classification by conducting experiments on standard datasets MCYT, SUSIG. The experimentation confirms that the proposed model achieves better accuracy (lower error rates) with a lesser number of features compared to the current state-of-the-art models. The proposed models yield state-of-the-art performance of 0.4% EER on MCYT-100 dataset and 3.47% with SUSIG dataset.
