Fusion of static image and dynamic information for signature verification
This paper evaluates the combination of static image (off-line) and dynamic information (on-line) for signature verification. Two off-line and two on-line recognition approaches exploiting information at the global and local levels are used. Experimental results are given using the BiosecurID database (130 signers, 3,640 signatures). Fusion experiments are done using a trained fusion approach based on linear logistic regression. It is shown experimentally that the local systems outperform the global ones, both in the on-line and in the off-line case. We also observe a considerable improvement when combining the two on-line systems, which is not the case with the off-line systems. The best performance is obtained when fusing all the systems together, which is specially evident for skilled forgeries when enough training data is available. 1
