Research summary
AI-generated

David Crandall works in computer vision and machine learning, developing methods for analyzing images and videos and connecting these techniques to real-world applications. His recent work spans video understanding, first-person (wearable camera) analysis, medical and dietary image assessment, and human-centered studies including robots that interact with older adults. Some projects also explore how AI systems can be made more interpretable and how they intersect with human perception and design.

Collaborators per year
Distinct co-authors at Indiana University each year — a rough indication of whether the group around this researcher has been growing or contracting. An estimate from co-authorship, not a roster: collaborators are not necessarily lab members, and recent years can be under-counted while indexing catches up.
