• Title: Consensus-Threshold Criterion for Offline Signature Verification using Convolutional Neural Network Learned Representations
• Authors: Paul Brimoh, Chollette C. Olisah
• Abstract summary: A consensus-threshold distance-based classifier is proposed for offline writer-dependent signature verification. On GPDS-300, the consensus threshold classifier improves the state-of-the-art performance by achieving a 1.27% FAR compared to 8.73% and 17.31% recorded in literature. This is consistent across other datasets and guarantees that the risk of imposters gaining access to sensitive documents or transactions is minimal.

• Abstract: A genuine signer's signature is naturally unstable even at short time-intervals whereas, expert forgers always try to perfectly mimic a genuine signer's signature. This presents a challenge which puts a genuine signer at risk of being denied access, while a forge signer is granted access. The implication is a high false acceptance rate (FAR) which is the percentage of forge signature classified as belonging to a genuine class. Existing work have only scratched the surface of signature verification because the misclassification error remains high. In this paper, a consensus-threshold distance-based classifier criterion is proposed for offline writer-dependent signature verification. Using features extracted from SigNet and SigNet-F deep convolutional neural network models, the proposed classifier minimizes FAR. This is demonstrated via experiments on four datasets: GPDS-300, MCYT, CEDAR and Brazilian PUC-PR datasets. On GPDS-300, the consensus threshold classifier improves the state-of-the-art performance by achieving a 1.27% FAR compared to 8.73% and 17.31% recorded in literature. This performance is consistent across other datasets and guarantees that the risk of imposters gaining access to sensitive documents or transactions is minimal.

  Main tasks of signature verification systems include extracting features from signature images and training a classifier for classification. The instances of skilled forgeries are often unavailable, when signature verification models are being trained. This paper proposes a new signature verification method using a variational autoencoder (VAE) to extract features directly from signature images.

Our method significantly surpasses previous methods on both CIFARCIFAR100 with artificial noise and real-world noisy datasets such as WebVision and ANIMAL-10N.
