Signature Verification using a "Siamese" Time Delay Neural Network

The aim of the project was to make a signature verification system based on the NCR 5990 Signature Capture Device (a pen-input tablet) and to use 80 bytes or less for signature feature storage in order that the features can be stored on the magnetic strip of a credit-card. Verification using a digitizer such as the 5990, which generates spatial coordinates as a function of time, is known as dynamic verification. Much research has been carried out on signature verification.
