Multi-scale Convolution Combined with DTW for Online Signature Verification
摘要
Online signature verification captures dynamic information during the signing process to identify and authenticate signatures. The extraction of effective signature features has been a central focus in this area of research. In this paper, a novel online signature verification model is proposed, which combines multi-scale convolution with dynamic time warping (DTW). The model extracts multi-scale features from signatures using a multi-scale convolutional network (MSCN), and adaptively weights different feature channels using a channel attention mechanism. This enables the model to extract more effective features from signatures of varying scales, thus enhancing the model’s representational capacity. Furthermore, soft-DTW is used as a distance metric, and compared to DTW, soft-DTW can address the non-differentiability issue of DTW and enable end-to-end training. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed model significantly outperforms previous methods on the DeepSignDB dataset, achieving state-of-the-art results.
