John Gustav Daugman OBE FREng FNAI FIMA FBCS FIAPR is a British-American professor of computer vision and pattern recognition at the University of Cambridge. His major research contributions have been in computational neuroscience (wavelet models of mammalian vision), pattern recognition, and in computer vision with the original development of wavelet methods for image encoding and analysis. He invented the IrisCode, a 2D Gabor wavelet-based iris recognition algorithm that is the basis of all publicly deployed automatic iris recognition systems and which has registered more than a billion persons worldwide in government ID programs.
