Abstract

An offline signature verification system based on feature extraction from signature images is introduced. Varieties of features such as geometric features, topological features and statistical features are extracted from signature images using Gabor filter technique. As all the features are not relevant, only the salient features are selected from the extracted one by a Rough Set Theory based reduct generation technique. Thus only the relevant features of the signatures are retained to reduce the dimension of feature vector so as to reduce the computation time and are used for offline signature verification. The experimental results are expressed using few parameters such as False Rejection Rate (FRR), False Acceptance Rate (FAR).
