Abstract
Multi-view human reconstruction has been extensively studied under simplified settings, yet robust and efficient multi-person reconstruction in unconstrained environments remains challenging. Existing bottom-up methods often rely on accurate camera calibration and explicit cross-view matching, and therefore struggle with severe occlusions and ambiguities. We propose a new top-down paradigm that maintains a unified, instance-centric human-aware 3D space, enabling simultaneous camera calibration, cross-view association, and human reconstruction via cross-modal contrastive learning. Observations from multiple views are lifted and fused into this shared 3D space, where geometric structure, visual appearance, and human-centric semantic cues are jointly encoded at the instance level. We further introduce a spatial contrastive learning strategy that aligns 3D features corresponding to the same human instance across different views and modalities while separating different instances. This enables correspondence reasoning, semantic aggregation, and instance discrimination to be performed natively in 3D, improving cross-view consistency and robustness under severe occlusions. Finally, structured human body models are recovered in a feed-forward manner by regressing SMPL parameters from instance-level 3D human tokens. Extensive experiments demonstrate robust, accurate, and efficient multi-view human reconstruction in challenging real-world scenarios.
