Sensor Interoperability and Fusion in Signature Verification: A Case Study Using Tablet PC

Several works related to information fusion for signature verification have been presented. However, few works have focused on sensor fusion and sensor interoperability. In this paper, these two topics are evaluated for signature verification using two different commercial Tablet PCs. An enrolment strategy using signatures from the two Tablet PCs is also proposed. Authentication performance experiments are reported by using a database with over 3000 signatures.
