I am working on a Signature Identification and Verification task. I have found decent number of approaches for the verification task though. But I am having trouble approaching the first one. Help needed.
If the rest of the document is printed (not handwritten), you could do a couple of erosions, depending on the thickness of the signature. After that, the signature will be gone, while the text (be it thinner) will remain.
Works only if the signature is thinner than the printed text.
