Well, about my studies, at IPN (National Polytechic Institute) I studied the career of Computer Engineering for 4 years and half.
My research is Backpropagation Applied to Off-Line Signature Recognition
The signature recognition is a topic of intensive research due to its great importance, among others, in the financial system. However it does not exist yet an enough reliable method for signature recognition and verification, especially in the forgeries detection. This paper presents an off-line signature recognition using features extracted from the off-line signature and an array of five growing cell neural network. The proposed system was evaluated using 950 signatures of 19 different persons. Experimental results show that proposed system achieves a fairly good recognition rate with a relatively low computational complexity.
The proposed system consists of two approaches, the envelope extraction and the statistic parameter extraction. Followed of the training in parallel by five neural networks type BACKPROPAGATION each one will be trained with the obtained values from the superior, inferior, straight and left envelops of the signature and the fifth net will be trained with the obtained values from the statistic parameters. To end will be used the values that throw the nets and will be decided on who belongs the signature.
