The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

A survey on biometric cryptosystems and cancelable biometrics (2011, background): “While the industry has long claimed that one of the primary benefits of biometric templates is that original biometric signals acquired to enroll a data subject cannot be reconstructed from stored templates, several approaches [2,3] have proven this claim wrong.”
An evaluation of indirect attacks and countermeasures in fingerprint verification systems (2011, methodology): “Furthermore, an algorithm to reconstruct the real fingerprint image from its ISO minutia-based template has been proposed by Cappelli et al. (2007b).”
Image Quality Assessment for Fake Biometric Detection: Application to Iris, Fingerprint, and Face Recognition (2014, methodology): “For instance, software-based methods can protect the system against the injection of reconstructed or synthetic samples into the communication channel between the sensor and the feature extractor [22], [23].”
Biometric Template Security (2008, background): “(ii) A physical spoof can be created from the template (see [34–36]) to gain unauthorized access to the system (as well as other systems which use the same biometric trait).”
