A DSP KERNEL FOR ONLINE DYNAMIC HANDWRITTEN SIGNATURE VERIFICATION USING TMS320

Biometric authentication techniques are in high demand for entrance monitoring and security systems. The techniques must be cheap, reliable and, foremost, unintrusive to the authorized person.

The only technique to meet all three requirements is handwritten signature verification. A recent development shows how focussing on the dynamic properties enables a high quality result at a drastically reduced computational effort. Here, we discuss an elegant realization, based on the TMS320 line of digital signal processors, that serves as a kernel in small to large safety and security related systems.
