Abstract
In a checking system, notably for checking the identity of persons, the person to be checked is the bearer of a chip card containing a limited series of information elements constituting a codified representation of significant morphological characteristics of the card bearer's face. The checking station comprises a card reader for the preparing and presenting, on a screen, of a schematic image of the face on the basis of the codified information elements read in the card. It is then possible to make a comparison between the displayed face and the bearer's face, as well as between the displayed face and the bearer'photograph which may be attached to the card.
