Biometric Signature Verification Using Recurrent Neural Networks

Architectures based on Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) have been successfully applied to many different tasks such as speech or handwriting recognition with state-of-the-art results. The main contribution of this work is to analyse the feasibility of RNNs for on-line signature verification in real practical scenarios. We have considered a system based on Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) with a Siamese architecture whose goal is to learn a similarity metric from pairs of signatures. For the experimental work, the BiosecurID database comprised of 400 users and 4 separated acquisition sessions are considered. Our proposed LSTM RNN system has outperformed the results of recent published works on the BiosecurID benchmark in figures ranging from 17.76% to 28.00% relative verification performance improvement for skilled forgeries.
