Abstract

Elastic matching is an important algorithm for online signature verification. Most of elastic matching algorithms are based on dynamic time warping(DTW). In this paper, we propose a new points matching algorithm for online signature verification. After resampling a signature with equidistant spacing, we describe the resampling point by its (3+1) demesional((3+1)D) information: 3D spatial information (x-axis, y-axis, time) and a feature vector. A soft-assign matrix and two special restrictions are introduced for recording the correspondence between two signatures. With a deterministic annealing framework, the mapping between two sets of (3+1)D signature points is achieved by minimizing the warping energy of the thin-plate spline(TPS). Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm outperforms the DTW-based matching algorithms.
