Gender Detection using Handwritten Signatures
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2018) Mohit Reddy, J.; Guru Pradeep Reddy, T.; Mishra, S.; Mulimani, M.; Koolagudi, S.G.
In this paper, a method is proposed which uses both Image Processing and Machine Learning techniques which detects the gender of a person using handwritten signature. A photograph of a handwritten signature is given as input to the model which then extracts different features like pen pressure, slant angle, count external and internal contours etc. The features extracted from multiple images in the dataset are used to train the model, which then predicts the output of a new input given to it. Our objective is to collect unbiased datasets from a set of people and feed those signatures to the model, carrying out the statistical analysis and calculating the accuracy of the algorithm after every signature classification. We have used Adaboost classifier which gave a cross-validation accuracy of 73.2% compared to other classifiers like Gradient Boosting Classifier, Random Forest Trees and Multi-Layer Perceptron which gave 73.2%, 63.2% and 59.6% accuracies respectively.
