Offline Signature Verification using LBP Technique

Abstract Signatures are widely used approach for verifying the identity of a person in many applications including credit card validation, banking security systems etc. Offline signature verification is done on the scanned image of handwritten signature. In this paper, we propose offline signature verification system using features extracted based on Local Binary Pattern (LBP) approach. The LBP is computed on pixel by pixel basis by defining local structure information with its adjacent pixels. K-NN and SVM classifiers are used for verification of the signature. Experiments are performed on the signature images of MCYT dataset and local database. Keywords: biometric, LBP, signature verification, KNN, SVM.
