# Introduction
This dataset is designed to help solve the task of recognizing and detecting handwritten signatures on official documents. The dataset consists of one class:

- **Signature**: Represents the handwritten or stylized signatures found on documents, which may vary in shape, slant, and complexity.

# Object Classes

## Signature

### Description
Signatures are typically located at the bottom or side of documents. They can include a combination of cursive or stylized letters, loops, and slants, often distinct due to their unique and personalized form. They are generally aligned near other formal text or identification labels.

### Instructions
- Identify and annotate the area where the signature is located.
- The signature should be enclosed within a bounding box that closely follows the spatial extent of the handwriting.
- Include any distinct loops, flourish or extended lines that form part of the signature.
- Avoid labeling any text or sections that are clearly non-signature elements, such as printed text, stamps, or logos.
- If a signature overlaps with printed information, ensure the bounding box covers only the handwritten part.
- Do not annotate incomplete or partial signatures unless they clearly form a distinct and recognizable part of a signature.
