Offline Signature Recognition and Verification System using Efficient Fuzzy Kohonen Clustering Network (EFKCN) Algorithm

Research on offline signature recognition still has not shown satisfactory results as the results of recent research. Therefore this study aims to proposed an offline signature recognition and verification system which employed an efficient fuzzy Kohonen clustering networks (EFKCN)1 algorithm. The proposed recognition system and signature verification system consist of five stages including data acquisition, image processing, data normalization, clustering, and evaluation. The recognition of signature patterns using the clustering method with the EFKCN algorithm shows relatively better result with 70% accuracy compared to the accuracy of previous research results2 which is 53%, and a good signature recognition result can be developed to assist the verification system as well as the personal data verification system as made in this study.
