Abstract—A new approach for the personal authentication using signatures is presented. This paper attempts to improve the performance of signature based authentication system by integrating multiple algorithms. The signatures are acquired using digital pen tablet and then features are extracted. These features are then examined for their combined performances. Our experimental results on the image data set from 30 users confirm the advantages of our fusion technique using simple image acquisition.
