Automatic Signature Verification system is used to verify whether a signature is genuine or forged. Forged Signatures are those signatures that a person produced by imitating the signature of another person. Automatic Signature Verification is very important as a person’s handwritten signature is used everywhere to authenticate themselves and there is not very much difference between a genuine signature and the imitation of it, i.e. a forged signature. In this work, signature verification is done using different pre-trained Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). Convolutional Neural Network has powerful learning ability, and it can be used to distinguish between a genuine and a forged signature automatically. In this experiment, Manipuri signature dataset was used, the dataset was prepared originally and it contains 729 genuine signatures and 243 forged signatures. Features were extracted from pre-trained networks and classification was done using binary Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier and the performances of the networks were compared. And according to the experiment we achieved a classification accuracy of 84.7 using VGG19 features, accuracy of 86.8 using VGG16 features and accuracy of 81.9 using Alexnet features.

Signature verification is essential to prevent the forgery of documents in financial, commercial, and legal settings. There are many researchers have focused on this topic, however, utilizing the 3-D information presented by a signature using a 3D optical profilometer is a relatively new idea, and the convolutional neural network is a powerful tool for image recognition. The present research focused on using the 3 dimensions of offline signatures in combination with a convolutional neural network to verify signatures. It was found that the accuracy of the data for offline signature verification was over 90%, which shows promise for this method as a novel method in signature verification.

AbstractFast and accurate confirmation of metastasis on the frozen tissue section of intraoperative sentinel lymph node biopsy is an essential tool for critical surgical decisions. However, accurate diagnosis by pathologists is difficult within the time limitations. Training a robust and accurate deep learning model is also difficult owing to the limited number of frozen datasets with high quality labels. To overcome these issues, we validated the effectiveness of transfer learning from CAMELYON16 to improve performance of the convolutional neural network (CNN)-based classification model on our frozen dataset (N = 297) from Asan Medical Center (AMC). Among the 297 whole slide images (WSIs), 157 and 40 WSIs were used to train deep learning models with different dataset ratios at 2, 4, 8, 20, 40, and 100%. The remaining, i.e., 100 WSIs, were used to validate model performance in terms of patch- and slide-level classification. An additional 228 WSIs from Seoul National University Bundang Hospital (SNUBH) were used as an external validation. Three initial weights, i.e., scratch-based (random initialization), ImageNet-based, and CAMELYON16-based models were used to validate their effectiveness in external validation. In the patch-level classification results on the AMC dataset, CAMELYON16-based models trained with a small dataset (up to 40%, i.e., 62 WSIs) showed a significantly higher area under the curve (AUC) of 0.929 than those of the scratch- and ImageNet-based models at 0.897 and 0.919, respectively, while CAMELYON16-based and ImageNet-based models trained with 100% of the training dataset showed comparable AUCs at 0.944 and 0.943, respectively. For the external validation, CAMELYON16-based models showed higher AUCs than those of the scratch- and ImageNet-based models. Model performance for slide feasibility of the transfer learning to enhance model performance was validated in the case of frozen section datasets with limited numbers.

The available stereo matching algorithms produce large number of false positive matches or only produce a few true-positives across oblique stereo images with large baseline. This undesired result happens due to the complex perspective deformation and radiometric distortion across the images. To address this problem, we propose a novel affine invariant feature matching algorithm with subpixel accuracy based on an end-to-end convolutional neural network (CNN). In our method, we adopt and modify a Hessian affine network, which we refer to as IHesAffNet, to obtain affine invariant Hessian regions using deep learning framework. To improve the correlation between corresponding features, we introduce an empirical weighted loss function (EWLF) based on the negative samples using K nearest neighbors, and then generate deep learning-based descriptors with high discrimination that is realized with our multiple hard network structure (MTHardNets). Following this step, the conjugate features are produced by using the Euclidean distance ratio as the matching metric, and the accuracy of matches are optimized through the deep learning transform based least square matching (DLT-LSM). Finally, experiments on Large baseline oblique stereo images acquired by ground close-range and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) verify the effectiveness of the proposed approach, and comprehensive comparisons demonstrate that our matching algorithm outperforms the state-of-art methods in terms of accuracy, distribution and correct ratio. The main contributions of this article are: (i) our proposed MTHardNets can generate high quality descriptors; and (ii) the IHesAffNet can produce substantial affine invariant corresponding features with reliable transform parameters.
