Dale Decatur

I am a PhD student at the University of Chicago’s 3DL (threedle) lab studying computer graphics, 3D computer vision, and deep learning. I am advised by Rana Hanocka. Previously, I interned at Adobe Research.

In my spare time, I love to play ultimate frisbee.

iSeg: Interactive 3D Segmentation via Interactive Attention

iSeg: Interactive 3D Segmentation via Interactive Attention

Itai Lang, Fei Xu, Dale Decatur, Sudarshan Babu, Rana Hanocka
SIGGRAPH Asia, 2025

We propose an interactive segmentation technique for 3D shapes that produces fine-grained segmentations based on user clicks.

3D Highlighter: Localizing Regions on 3D Shapes via Text Descriptions

Dale Decatur, Itai Lang, Rana Hanocka
CVPR, 2023 Highlight Paper

Our technique reasons about where to place seemingly unrelated concepts in semantically meaningful locations on the 3D shape, such as a 'poncho' on a horse or 'shoes' on an alien.
