A system of off-line signature verification composed of a preprocessing stage and a verification stage is proposed in this paper. It is assumed that each signature is written on a surface with a background pattern and a sample of the background pattern is available. The preprocessing stage to eliminate the background pattern from a signature image consists of 5 steps: the position adjustment between a signature image and a background image, the filtering of the background pattern by local maximization, the clipping of random noises from the background pattern, the background elimination by transformation of the multilevel signature image to a binary signature image through subtraction and thresholding, and the smoothing for defects recovery and isolated noise elimination. The effect of the preprocessing operation is illustrated in figures. The verification stage following the preprocessing stage is based on the Arc Pattern Method proposed in Ref. 7. An experiment is performed to examine the performance of the proposed system. Twenty Japanese autographs, for which 20 authentic signatures, 10 genuine counter signatures and 10 forged counter signatures are provided, are used in the experiment. The experiment achieved an error rate of as low as approximately 14%.
