To meet the recent demands for automated security systems, this study proposes a novel single-template strategy that uses mean templates and local stability-weighted dynamic time warping (LS-DTW) to simultaneously improve the speed and accuracy of online signature verification. Specifically, we adopt a recent time-series averaging method, called Euclidean barycenter-based DTW barycenter averaging (EB-DBA), to obtain an effective mean template set for each feature while preserving intra-user variability among reference samples. We then estimate the local stability of the mean template set by using direct matching points that represent stable signature regions in the DTW warping paths between the mean template set and the references. Subsequently, we boost the discriminative power in the verification phase using the LS-DTW distance measure that incorporates the local stability sequence as the weights for the DTW cost function between the mean template set and a query signature. Finally, we use the public SVC2004 Task2/MCYT-10 0 online signature datasets and the recent 3DAirSig in-air signature dataset to conduct experiments, whose results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed method in both the randomand skilled-forgery scenarios.
