Template update allows to modify the biometric reference of a user while he
uses the biometric system. With such kind of mechanism we expect the biometric
system uses always an up to date representation of the user, by capturing his
intra-class (temporary or permanent) variability. Although several studies
exist in the literature, there is no commonly adopted evaluation scheme. This
does not ease the comparison of the different systems of the literature. In
this paper, we show that using different evaluation procedures can lead in
different, and contradictory, interpretations of the results. We use a
keystroke dynamics (which is a modality suffering of template ageing quickly)
template update system on a dataset consisting of height different sessions to
illustrate this point. Even if we do not answer to this problematic, it shows
that it is necessary to normalize the template update evaluation procedures.Comment: International Biometric Performance Testing Conference 2012,
