In many fields of social life, such as justice, finance, communication and so on, signatures are used for identity recognition. The increasingly convenient and extensive application of technology increases the opportunity for forged signatures. How to effectively identify a forged signature is still a challenge to be tackled by research. Offline static handwriting has a unique structure and strong interpretability, while online handwriting contains dynamic information, such as timing and pressure. Therefore, this paper proposes an authentic signature identification method, integrating dynamic and static features. The dynamic data and structural style of the signature are extracted by dot matrix pen technology, the global and local features, time and space features are fused and clearer and understandable features are applied to signature identification. At the same time, the classification of a forged signature is more detailed according to the characteristics of signature and a variety of machine learning models and a deep learning network structure are used for classification and recognition. When the number of classifications is 5, it is better to identify simple forgery signatures. When the classification number is 15, the accuracy rate is mostly about 96.7% and the highest accuracy reaches 100% on CNN. This paper focuses on feature extraction, incorporates the advantages of dynamic and static features and improves the classification accuracy of signature identification.
