        In this paper, the specific trait of Persian signatures is applied to signature verification. Efficient features, which can discriminate among Persian signatures, are investigated in this approach. Persian signatures, in comparison with other languages signatures, have more curvature and end in a specific style. Usually, Persian signatures have special characteristics, in terms of speed, acceleration and pen pressure, during drawing curves. An experiment has been designed to determine the function indicating the most robust features of Persian signatures. Results obtained from this experiment are then used in feature extraction stage. To improve the performance of verification, a combination of shape based and dynamic extracted features is applied to Persian signature verification. To classify these signatures, Support Vector Machine (SVM) is applied. The proposed method is examined on two common Persian datasets, the new proposed Persian dataset in this paper (Noshirvani Dynamic Signature Dataset) and an international dataset (SVC2004). For three Persian datasets EER value are equal to 3, 3.93, 4.79, while for SVC2004 the EER value is 4.43. Manuscript profile

        In this paper, an online signature verification method using extended regression in stationary wavelet domain is presented. To calculate the similarity between two signatures by extended regression, we should equalize the time length of the corresponding signals in two signatures. Using all points of the signals to equalize their time length will decrease the difference between a genuine signature and its forgery. Here a new approach based on the extreme points warping of the signals is presented. This approach equalizes the time length of two signals without degrading the differences between them. Also we calculated the similarity of signatures by using the details of the signals in stationary wavelet transform, SWT, domain, which showed very good results. The proposed system was tested on SVC2004 signature database. The results were compared with the results of participant teams in the first international signature verification competition. We have gained EER=6% for skilled forgery signatures. Comparing the result, it shows that we stand in the second rank between all the participants. This system has no verification error for random forgery signatures and stands in the first rank. Our experimental results show that using SWT domain instead of time domain decreases the verification error rate by 35%. Manuscript profile
