Template Creation Failed Situation and Its Evaluation

[ErolCitak]

Hi @mlngan ,

I wonder what is the evaluation criteria if I encounter with template creation failed situation. More precisely, suppose I couldn't create a template for a specific image, then filled its vector to handle it in my matcher. And, for example, I return 0 (zero) similarity score for that template in my matcher. Then in the evaluation stage, will Nist evaluate that template for FNMR / FMR calculations? I mean, will Nist take "that failed template-based image" into consideration in the evaluation stage or not? I'm asking this question because if that template will be taken into consideration, I shouldn't give a negative score in my matcher stage.
