Building a Model of Signature Verification and Identification System Based on Deep CNN (ConvNet)

Abstract

AbstractSignatures are commonly used as a unique way of identifying and verifying a person’s identity. Legal documents like bank cheques and transactions, government documents, and affidavits require signature-based verification to identify the authenticity of the person. The signature identification and verification system help to distinguish whether an input signature is honest or a fake. For very long years, this was considered to be a challenging mission when the offline mode was taken into consideration. The offline mode uses scanned signature images, where the online mode of signing process isn't existing. To overcome the signature verification challenge, an application of deep learning techniques to identify feature representations from signature images can be leveraged. In this paper, we have demonstrated how to identify valid and invalid signatures by building a signature verification and identification system that uses deep convolution neural network (ConvNet).KeywordsDeep learningConvolution neural network (ConvNet)Signature verification
