Handwritten signature identification using basic concepts of graph theory

TLDR
Previous work in the field of signature and writer identification is presented to show the historical development of the idea and a new promising approach in handwritten signature identification based on some basic concepts of graph theory is defined.
Abstract
Handwritten signature is being used in various applications on daily basis. The problem arises when someone decides to imitate our signature and steal our identity. Therefore, there is a need for adequate protection of signatures and a need for systems that can, with a great degree of certainty, identify who is the signatory. This paper presents previous work in the field of signature and writer identification to show the historical development of the idea and defines a new promising approach in handwritten signature identification based on some basic concepts of graph theory. This principle can be implemented on both on-line handwritten signature recognition systems and off-line handwritten signature recognition systems. Using graph norm for fast classification (filtration of potential users), followed by comparison of each signature graph concepts value against values stored in database, the system reports 94.25% identification accuracy.

Personal identification based on handwriting

TL;DR: This paper attempts to eliminate the assumption that the written text is fixed by presenting a novel algorithm for automatic text-independent writer identification by taking a global approach based on texture analysis, where each writer's handwriting is regarded as a different texture.
