Writer-independent Offline Signature Recognition based upon Fourier Descriptors
G. G., Pandit Patil · International Journal of Computer Applications · 2017
Signatures of individuals play an important role in financial, commercial and legal transactions and hence require a secured recognition and verification system.This paper presents a novel approach towards signature recognition using Fourier Descriptors.The signature image is enclosed in a closed contour and the Fourier terms of these contours are computed by representing the contour in a complex plane.The FDs computed are then fed to K-NN classifier for recognition.The proposed system exhibits good recognition accuracy.
