Siamese Sinir Ağı One-Shot Öğrenmeyi Kullanarak İmza Doğrulama

Abstract

With the acceleration of digitalization in all areas of our lives, the need for biometric verification methods is increasing. The fact that biometric data is unique and biometric verification is stronger against phishing attacks compared to password-based authentication methods, has increased its preference rate. Signature verification, which is one of the biometric verification types, plays an important role in many areas such as banking systems, administrative and judicial applications. There are 2 types of signature verification, online and offline, for identifying the identity of the person and detecting signature forgery. Online signature verification is carried out during signing and temporal dynamic data are available regarding the person's signature. Offline verification is applied by scanning the image after signing, and this verification is limited to spatial data. Therefore, the offline signature verification process is considered a more challenging task. In this study, offline signature verification, independent of the writer, based on One-Shot Learning, was performed using Siamese Neural Network. Due to the fact that the Deep Convolution Neural Network requires a large amount of labeled data for image classification, real and fake signature distinction has been achieved by using the One-Shot Learning method, which can perform a successful classification by using less numbers of signature images. As a result of the experiments conducted on signature datasets, using the Siamese architecture, the proposed approach achieved percentage accuracy of 93.23, 92.11, 89.78, 91.35 verification in 4NSigComp2012, SigComp2011, 4NSigComp2010 and BHsig260 respectively.
