This volume highlights some of the multidisciplinary aspects of automatic signature verification. The first two chapters serve as an introduction. The first constitutes a review of the literature of the past five years, and the second addresses the problem of parallel strategies to construct and optimize feature vectors to describe a signature. The remaining six chapters are divided into two sections: research on static systems and research on dynamic systems. The section on off-line systems describes a system, based on co-operative neural networks for the automatic processing of signatures...

This book contains 15 reviewed papers selected from among those presented at the 4th Vision Interface Conference in Halifax, Canada 14 - 18 May 1990. The papers are grouped into three sections which deal with parallel architectures and neural networks, algorithms for analysis and processing, and systems and applications.
