The method for determining the characteristic points of signatures based on IPAN99 algorithm

The paper puts forward a new method of determination of signatures' characteristic points. The method is based on seeking points of the highest curvature using the IPAN99 algorithm. The way of IPAN99 algorithm parameters' automatic selection for a particular signature has been fully described. Moreover, the way of determination of additional characteristic points, important for a signatures analysis, has been shown. The presented results of carried out experiments confirm that the proposed method is useful for signature recognition and verification.
