This Presidential Young Investigator Award is for support of               John Daugman at Harvard University.  His research deals with                    information processing in both biological and computational                     vision.  Focusing on early mechanisms of visual signal                          processing, he has used image-processing methods to simulate the                basis functions in neural laminae which extract two-dimensional                 image structure.  The inferred functions can be modeled as                      oriented, multiscale, two-dimensional wave packets that                         simultaneously and optimally resolve structural and positional                  information.                                                                         Daugman now is developing a machine-vision processor that                  will decompose images, at video rates, into oriented structural                 primitives using parameters based on neurobiological recordings                 of the properties of cells in the visual cortex of the brains of                primates.  The significance of this work is that it is likely to                lead to a better understanding of natural vision systems -- how                 they extract information from images and represent it, and how                  they infer the properties of objects.
