CEDAR Signature is a database of off-line signatures for signature verification. Each of 55 individuals contributed 24 signatures thereby creating 1,320 genuine signatures. Some were asked to forge three other writers’ signatures, eight times per subject, thus creating 1,320 forgeries. Each signature was scanned at 300 dpi gray-scale and binarized using a gray-scale histogram. Salt pepper noise removal and slant normalization were two steps involved in image preprocessing. The database has 24 genuines and 24 forgeries available for each writer.
