A Generic Template Update Framework: The Solution for Intra-Class Variations in Biometric Systems

It is already a consensus that intra-class variations will decline the performance of biometric systems. Many studies have explained how intra-class variations affect the biometric systems, while few approaches have proposed the effective solutions of template update. Since template update is a cruc...
