Age dependency in handwritten dynamic signature verification systems

Age dependency in handwritten dynamic signature verification systems
Age dependency in handwritten dynamic signature verification systems
An assessment of age dependency of biometric dynamic signature verification systems is presented. A number of commonly used features are extracted from multiple signature sample donated by 274 signers. These features are examined for repeatability both within a single signature capture session and between multiple sessions with particular consideration for any performance variation between age groups. Alongside this analysis, an age evaluation of test subjects? ability to enrol/validate on standard systems is presented. Performance is stable across all evaluated age groups proving the ability signature system to be deployed for use within a general population. Some performance features however vary significantly with age in terms of repeatability and mean feature value; characteristics which can be exploited and must be accommodated in the design of systems for use amongst a wide or specific population.

Abstract

An assessment of age dependency of biometric dynamic signature verification systems is presented. A number of commonly used features are extracted from multiple signature sample donated by 274 signers. These features are examined for repeatability both within a single signature capture session and between multiple sessions with particular consideration for any performance variation between age groups. Alongside this analysis, an age evaluation of test subjects? ability to enrol/validate on standard systems is presented. Performance is stable across all evaluated age groups proving the ability signature system to be deployed for use within a general population. Some performance features however vary significantly with age in terms of repeatability and mean feature value; characteristics which can be exploited and must be accommodated in the design of systems for use amongst a wide or specific population.
