• Abstract: Aerial-ground person re-identification is a challenging task due to cross-platform viewpoint variations, which cause severe occlusion and geometric deformation. Existing methods attempt to learn view-invariant representations exclusively within the 2D image space, where drastic viewpoint variations cause the learned features to remain coupled with viewpoint bias. To address this, we propose VR3D, a View-Robust 3D Representation Learning framework that maps images into a unified 3D coordinate space to achieve view-independent feature interaction. Specifically, we introduce View-Robust 3D Representation Interaction, which leverages 3D priors extracted from single 2D observations to lift 2D appearance features into a canonical 3D space. VR3I employs 3D Geometry-Semantic Attention to establish interactions between 2D patches and 3D voxels from corresponding body parts based on their 3D spatial locations, effectively grounding 2D semantics within a 3D framework. In addition, as the reliability of these representations varies across samples due to viewpoint changes and 3D reconstruction errors, we introduce Reliability-Aware Fusion, which estimates sample-specific reliability and adaptively aggregates the multi-source representations. Extensive experiments on three benchmark datasets (CARGO, AG-ReID.v1, and AG-ReID.v2) demonstrate that VR3D outperforms recent methods. For example, it achieves a 5.63% improvement in Rank-1 on CARGO. Our code will be released.
