Improving a signature recognition method using the fuzzy approach

The paper introduces a significant improvement of the signature recognition method based on characteristic preprocessing of an input data. The original approach transforms an input data into a sorted set of points obtained from intersections of a signature with generated lines going through it's center point. For further analysis the discrete Walsh transform was used. The solution presented in this paper divides points obtained in the preprocessing phase into groups. This step allows the method to preserve more unique features, which positively reflects on the results. Preprocessed data is used to build a fuzzy structure called the fuzzy signature. The method considering a natural imprecision makes the verification system flexible.
