Title
Adaptation of Writer-Independent Systems for Offline Signature Verification
Abstract
Although writer-independent offline signature verification (WI-SV) systems may provide a high level of accuracy, they are not secure due to the need to store user templates for authentication. Moreover, state-of-the-art writer-dependent (WD) and writer-independent (WI) systems provide enhanced accuracy through information fusion at either feature, score or decision levels, but they increase computational complexity. In this paper, a method for adapting WI-SV systems to different users is proposed, leading to secure and compact WD-SV systems. Feature representations embedded within WI classifiers are extracted and tuned to each enrolled user while building a user-specific classifier. Simulation results on the Brazilian signature database indicate that the proposed method yields WD classifiers that provide the same level of accuracy as that of the baseline WI classifiers (AER of about 5.38), while reducing complexity by about 99.5%.
