I trying to create a model for determining whether a questioned hand written signature matches known signature samples, and predict if the signature is genuine or forgeries.

I'm guessing I'll have to use a CNN and probably some variation of PCA.

How would you tackle the "signature verification" problem?
Is there an already trained models for that? or datasets?

All I could find are research articles, but:

  • no GitHub projects.
  • no AWS/Azure/Gcloud service.
  • no Kaggle completions or datasets.

Maybe I not searching for the right thing!

Any dataset of signatures I could use, and ideas on how to approach that kind of problem would be very helpful. tnx :)

One of the key features in hand-write is the frequency of the signature, i.e. high frequencies - how "shaky" is the signature, and low frequencies - how rounded is the signature etc. For that, you would like to use Fourier transformation on the image, and train the results on labeled data, if available.

  • $\begingroup$ tnx.. that's a good idea! will use it. BTW Wouldn't a deep enough CNN figured it out all by itself? $\endgroup$
