Abstract

Biometric technologies, such as handwritten signature verification, are extremely useful for identifying individuals inside an organization or finance department. The improvement of picture categorization using deep learning (DL) neural networks has offered an opportunity to exhibit computer vision in contemporary research applications by applying image processing approaches. Manual signature verification is inefficient, error-prone, time-consuming, and inconvenient; therefore, it is critical to create an automatic signature verification recognition system. This research offers an automatic recognition method based on DL that makes use of the Grupo de Procesado Digital de Seales. The biggest publicly accessible handwritten signature dataset, the synthetic signature dataset, was used to classify the signatures of 100 people, each of whom possessed 24 genuine signatures and 30 forged signatures. An inception V3 transfer learning (TL) model is proposed by hyper-tuning different layers from the middle of its architecture and this model is fine-tuned by adding layers, such as flatten, dense (1024), dropout (0.5), and dense (1). The suggested model was tested against six well-known pre-trained TL convolutional neural network models: VGG 16, VGG 19, ResNet 50, ResNet 101, MobileNet, and EfficientNet. The suggested model surpasses the pre-trained models. Precision, sensitivity, and F1-score are likewise outperformed by the model, with the values of 88%, 88%, and 87%, respectively. The accuracy of the pre-trained models was evaluated as 80%, 81%, 77%, 73%, 71%, and 74%, respectively. The suggested fine-tuned inception V3 gives the highest accurate classifications, distinguishing between genuine and forged signatures with an accuracy of 88%. This study will aid researchers in developing more effective CNN-based models for offline signature verification with application to computer vision.
