Semi-supervised fingerprint template update is a relatively novel topic in which the problem of template representativeness with respect to unknown data has been pointed out. Current approaches to template update are based on insertion of a novel template into the gallery, and/or fusion of the template with an existing one. The automatic replacement of an existing template by a novel one is another possibility which has not yet been investigated. This paper is a first attempt to study the feasibility of using some template replacement algorithms in fingerprint verification systems. Replacement is performed online, which can be considered as a sort of “worst case” for this approach. Preliminary experiments are carried out on the four data sets of FVC2002 event.

Abstract
Semi-supervised fingerprint template update is a relatively novel topic in which the problem of template representativeness with respect to unknown data has been pointed out. Current approaches to template update are based on insertion of a novel template into the gallery, and/or fusion of the template with an existing one. The automatic replacement of an existing template by a novel one is another possibility which has not yet been investigated. This paper is a first attempt to study the feasibility of using some template replacement algorithms in fingerprint verification systems. Replacement is performed online, which can be considered as a sort of “worst case” for this approach. Preliminary experiments are carried out on the four data sets of FVC2002 event.I metadati presenti in IRIS UNICA sono rilasciati con licenza Creative Commons CC0 1.0 Universal, mentre i file delle pubblicazioni sono protetti da diritto d'autore, salvo diversa indicazione.
