Kinematical Analysis of Synthetic Dynamic Signatures Using the Sigma-Lognormal Model

The kinematical information present in synthetically generated signatures is analyzed using the Sigma-Lognormal model and compared to the kinematical properties of real samples. Experiments are carried out on totally independent development and test sets and show a high degree of similarity between humanly produced and artificial signatures. One particular flaw is found in the velocity profile of synthetic signatures. Two possible solutions are proposed to improve the synthetic generation method using the Kinematic Theory of rapid human movements.
