Originally scheduled for 2020, the 2022 Peebles Memorial Lecture "Computers That See: The Past, Present, and Future of Computer Vision" presented by Dr. David Crandall, Luddy School of Informatics and Computing Professor of Computer Science and Director of Center for Machine Learning at Indiana University Bloomington.
David J. Crandall received the Ph.D. in computer science from Cornell University in 2008 and the M.S. and B.S. degrees in computer science and engineering from the Pennsylvania State University, University Park, in 2001. He worked as a postdoctoral associate at Cornell from 2008-2010, and as a research scientist at Eastman Kodak Company from 2001-2003.
Dr. Crandall’s main research interest is computer vision, the area of computer science that tries to design algorithms that can “see”. He is particularly interested in visual object recognition and scene understanding. He is also interested in other problems that involve analyzing and modeling large amounts of uncertain data, like mining data from the web and from online social networking sites.

Abstract:
Computer vision is a key part of Artificial Intelligence and has been studied for decades, but creating machines that can actually understand the visual world around them has been an elusive goal. Despite many exciting advances over the last few years, computers still pale in comparison to the visual recognition abilities of even small children. In this talk, I'll review some of the history of computer vision, talk about the current state of the field, and speculate about the path forward.
About the series:
The series commemorates decades of service given to Indiana University by Dr. Christopher S. Peebles, former associate vice president for research and academic computing and dean for information technology. When Peebles stepped down as associate vice president in 2003, then-Vice President for Information Technology Michael McRobbie established an endowment through the IU Foundation to fund a lecture series in his honor. The series is expected to bring some of the sharpest minds in information technology to Indiana University.
"Chris was a distinguished scholar in multiple disciplines, an inveterate reader, and a leader who helped set the foundations for the excellent IT environment we enjoy at IU," said longtime colleague Dr. Craig Stewart. "This lecture series honors Chris's service and dedication to IU and to academia in general."
About Dr. Christopher Peebles:
Peebles came to Indiana University in 1985 as director of the Glenn A. Black Laboratory. His career at Indiana University uniquely encompassed both anthropology and information technology. His interest in formal organizations and their cultures' effect on quality of corporate performance led to a key role in bringing vital cost and quality management programs to Indiana University's central information technology organization. Dr. Peebles served twice as interim chief information officer at Indiana University. Dr. Peebles has published and made important contributions in several distinct fields: anthropology, information science, quality management, and information technology, and was active in the Indiana University community and faculty governance. Peebles retired from IU in 2009, and passed away in 2012.
