CapsNet regularization and its conjugation with ResNet for signature identification

作者:

Highlights:

• We proposed a regularized version of CapsNet aiming for more generalization and overfitting avoidance.

• Adding regularized term leads to removing the decoder in the baseline CapsNet that causes a noticeable reduction of learning parameters and fast convergence.

• We also proposed a conjugation of regularized CapsNet with ResNet dealing with the small number of training samples or the input images with a large size.

• We evaluated our approach over three well-known publicly available datasets.
