Signature verification is an authentication technique that considers handwritten signature as a biometric. From a biometric perspective this project made use of automatic means through an integration of intelligent algorithms to perform signal enhancement function such as filtering and smoothing for optimization in conventional biometric systems. A handwritten signature is a 1D Daubechies wavelet signal (db4) that utilizes Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) and Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) collectively to create a feature dataset with d-dimensional space. In the proposed work the statistical features characteristics are extracted from each particular signature per data source. Two databases called Signature Verification Competition (SVC) 2004 database and SUBCORPUS 100 MCYT Bimodal database are used to cooperate with the design algorithm. Furthermore dimension reduction technique is applied to the large feature vectors. A system model is trained and evaluated using the support vector machine (SVM) classifier algorithm. Hence an equal error rate (EER) of 8.7 percent and an average correct verification rate of 91.3 percent

Abstract We report on the design and experimental demonstration of an infrared multi‐touch solution on a circular device. Different geometries are investigated leading up to a final design. A demo unit was built having multi‐touch functionality when using fingers, gloves or other opaque objects.
