Signature Recognition System Using ML

Abstract— This paper presents a machine learning-based system for offline signature verification, aimed at distinguishing between genuine and forged handwritten signatures. The proposed system utilizes a Siamese neural network architecture to extract and compare feature embeddings from two input signature images: a reference (genuine) signature and a query (test) signature. By computing the Euclidean distance between the feature vectors, the model determines the degree of similarity between the two signatures. A predefined threshold value of 0.2 is employed to classify the query signature as either genuine or forged. The system is developed using Python, leveraging TensorFlow for model training and inference, and Streamlit to provide a user-friendly web-based interface for real-time signature verification. Experimental results demonstrate the model's effectiveness in achieving reliable verification performance, highlighting its potential applications in domains such as document authentication, financial verification. transactions, and identity Varification.
