  • the pre-processing stage in a signature verification system can consist of a wide variety of operations that depend, in some cases, on the way in which the information has been captured, that is the signature. These operations include the elimination of noise derived from the scanning process or the medium where the signature was captured, the amplification of the captured signal to make it easier to process, data filtering, image conditioning, signal truncation, normalization , coding of the signature or signed address, detection of the beginning and end of the signature, detection of strokes up or down, segmentation of the signature into components, among others.
  • pre-processing activities depend on the type of verification system, for example, in dynamic systems (online verification), where the signature information is captured by electronic devices with sensors, it is possible to identify the direction and speed of the strokes, to detect strokes made downwards, upwards, pressure exerted by the signer, etc. which are captured regularly as signals that can be subject to algorithms of filtering, amplification, conditioning, etc. other than those that can be applied in static processes (offline verification).
  • offline verification processes pre-processing usually includes binarization, noise elimination, orientation, reduction or segmentation, normalization, among others.
  • segmentation One of the crucial parts of a firm's preprocessing is segmentation.
  • segmentation is usually done through the use of algorithms that detect the contour of a signature or the use of vertical or horizontal histograms. For its part, the elimination of noise is usually done by applying a media filter.
  • US8320674B2 shows a procedure to recognize a text from an image or a video, accurately locating the position of the text. If the localized text is of low resolution it can be extracted, improved and binarized. Finally, OCR technology can be applied to binarized text for recognition.

  • US7869634 a signature authentication system of a user electronically introduced into the system by a mouse or other manual input device is provided that provides an output indicative of its location when manipulated by the user.
  • the system serves to extract angle and distance data that relate different parts of the user's signature entered into the system and to store corresponding angle and distance data relative to a reference signature previously entered into the system during a training procedure.
  • the extracted data is then compared by the system with the reference data stored by the system and, when appropriate, an indicative output of an appropriate match between the entered signature and the reference signature is provided depending on the result of the comparison.
  • This system provides a dynamic online biometric verification system that can be customized for multiple Internet-based applications that require secure authentication.
  • the system does not require specialized equipment at the point of use, which allows access from any computer capable of the Internet with a mouse and browser compatible with Java, for example.

  • US Pat. No.4710822 describes a method for image processing in which a figure is divided into a plurality of blocks.
  • Each block comprises a variety of image elements that are classified into a first group consisting of image elements of densities not less than a reference density and a second group consisting of image elements of densities lower than the reference density.
  • a representative density of image elements of the first group and the second group in each block is obtained.
  • An image discrimination is made in accordance with representative densities and then a determination of a Threshold value according to representative densities and the result of image discrimination.
  • Image discrimination and determination of threshold values are carried out using histograms made from the representative density of image elements of the first group in each block and the representative density of image elements of the second group in each block.
  • the image information is then converted into binary signals according to the threshold value.
  • a character recognition identifier is developed based on the function and the level of confidence that are determined for an unknown symbol. If the level of trust is within an intermediate range, the feature-based identification is confirmed by matching the unknown character with a reference template corresponding to the feature-based identification. If the confidence level is below the intermediate range, template matching character recognition is replaced instead of feature-based identification. If template match recognition identifies more than one symbol, corresponding templates from a second set of templates that have thicker character strokes are used to resolve ambiguity.
  • a binary method used in an OCR system to determine the pixels of a text is presented, checking for each pixel the difference between its value and the values of a plurality of pixels located at a predetermined distance thereof is greater than a relative threshold corresponding to the difference in intensities between the text and the background of the image.

  • the method begins with a digital image, converted to grayscale, segmented so that a black and white image formed by a plurality of particles is obtained; filtering said plurality of particles removes particles that do not contain information associated with a character of the original image; a dilated image is obtained to select segments, trying that each segment corresponds to a character of the original image. Finally, the information of these segments is interpreted by means of a character recognition algorithm.
  • the invention US20100303356 provides a method for an Optical Character Recognition (OCR) system that provides recognition of characters that are partially hidden by outputs due to, for example, a stamp print, handwritten signatures, etc.
  • OCR Optical Character Recognition

  • Figure 4 shows the resulting image at the end of the preprocessing process
  • Figure 1 shows the result of applying the Signature Extraction software to an official document, in this case a check.
  • the first element is Signature Window Manager is responsible for identifying a window in the check that corresponds to the area where the signature is expected, as well as making adjustments to that window according to user interaction.
  • the Signature Window Cleaner class is responsible for deleting the check template information found in the signature area, so that it can be processed later.
  • the user is shown an image of the check with a box that marks the window where the signature is expected, and is asked to confirm that the box encloses the signature in its entirety.
  • Figure 2 shows the next step in the process: once the signature area is extracted, the same template area is extracted of the check, to identify the existing elements in the template and eliminate them from the signature area. It identifies the places where it is expected to have lines, or texts, and seeks to eliminate such information. However, it is important to indicate that the removal of all existing information in the template could also remove information from the firm (See figure 2b). To reduce the risk of loss of such information, a simple algorithm has been applied that verifies adjacent pixels in search of information from the firm, so that the result resembles that shown in ( Figure 2 c).
  • Figure 3 exemplifies the process of removing lines belonging to the template.
  • FIG 3 a the section corresponding to the template is shown, indicating the line to be deleted;
  • Figure 3 b) shows the section of the signature from which you want to delete template information, and
  • Figure 3 c) shows the result once the template information has been deleted.
  • Figure 4 shows the 4 stages of the pre-processing process of the firm: binarization, thinning, orientation and edge removal. Once the edge removal process is applied, the resulting image is like the one shown in Figure 5.
