Signature Recognition and Verification Using Machine Learning

Abstract

This project focuses on the development and implementation of a robust signature recognition and verification system leveraging machine learning techniques. Handwritten signatures serve as essential personal identifiers in numerous applications, such as financial transactions, legal documents, and access control. Traditional methods of signature verification often lack efficiency and accuracy, prompting the need for automated and intelligent systems. The proposed project aims to address this challenge by employing state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms for signature analysis. The project involves the creation of a comprehensive dataset consisting of diverse signature samples. Through the utilization of image processing and deep learning techniques, the system will extract relevant features such as stroke dynamics, pressure, and spatial characteristics from the signatures. The core of the project lies in training a machine learning model on the dataset, enabling it to learn the distinctive patterns inherent in individual signatures. During the verification phase, the developed system will assess the input signature's similarity against the stored templates, providing a confidence score to indicate the level of authenticity. The outcome of this project will be a reliable and efficient signature recognition and verification system that can be applied in real-world scenarios, enhancing security and reducing the risk of fraudulent activities. The project not only contributes to the advancement of biometric authentication systems but also provides valuable insights into the integration of machine learning in document security applications.
