Abstract
A new signature based authentication approach is described, where signing clips are analyzed. Using an web-camera a series of frames is acquired that allows investigating the dynamics of the complex “hand-pen”. For this a set of features of the hand, the pen and their mutual disposition at the time of signing is derived. Classification and verification decision-making rule based on the Mahalanobis distance has been used. A class-related feature weighting is proposed for the improvement of accuracy. A Gaussian-based model for the description of skin color is suggested. The preliminary experimental results have confirmed the reliability of the approach.
