Automatic Signature Verification: The State of the Art - 1989-1993

This paper is a follow up to an article published in 1989 by R. Plamondon and G. Lorette on the state of the art in automatic signature verification and writer identification. It summarizes the activity from year 1989 to 1993 in automatic signature verification. For this purpose, we report on the different projects dealing with dynamic, static and neural network approaches. In each section, a brief description of the major investigations is given.
