In this contribution, a Bayes Ying Yang(BYY) harmony based approach for on-line signature verification is presented. In the proposed method, a simple but effective Gaussian Mixture Models(GMMs) is used to represent for each user's signature model based on the prior information collected. Different from the early works, in this paper, we use the Bayes Ying Yang machine combined with the harmony function to achieve Automatic Model Selection(AMS) during the parameter learning for the GMMs, so that a better approximation of the user model is assured. Experiments on a database from the First International Signature Verification Competition(SVC 2004) confirm that this combined algorithm yields quite satisfactory results.
