Signature Recognition and Verification Using Multiple Classifiers Combination of Hu’s and HOG Features

In this paper, an offline HSR and verification work has been carried out using Hu's invariant moment and HOG feature descriptor. In the HOG feature descriptor, the distribution (histograms) of directions of gradients (oriented gradients) are used as features. Gradients (x and y derivatives) of an image are useful because the magnitude of gradients is large around edges and corners (regions of abru…
