An Efficient Automated Attendance Entering System by Eliminating Counterfeit Signatures using Kolmogorov Smirnov Test

Abstract

Maintaining the attendance database of thousands of students has become a tedious task in the universities in Sri Lanka. This paper comprises of 3 phases: signature extraction, signature recognition, and signature verification to automate the process. We applied necessary image processing techniques, and extracted useful features from each signature. Support Vector Machine (SVM), multiclass Support Vector Machine and Kolmogorov Smirnov test is used to signature classification, recognition, and verification respectively. The described method in this report represents an effective and accurate approach to automatic signature recognition and verification. It is capable of matching, classifying, and verifying the test signatures with the database of 83.33%, 100%, and 100% accuracy respectively
