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.
Real-world robot deployment rarely maintains the training-stage camera setup, where cameras often experience repositioning or remounting depending on actual scenarios. Existing view-robust Vision-Language-Action (VLA) policies tolerate such camera variations only when the camera extrinsics are explicitly provided, making them fragile and hard to use especially when view robustness is critical. We argue that the policy should not be told where the camera is, but rather figure it out by itself. To this end, we introduce Camera-Centric VLA (CamVLA), a new VLA model that decouples manipulation controls from camera geometry by predicting (i) a camera-centric end-effector action expressed in the local camera frame, and (ii) a 6-DoF hand-eye matrix relating cameras to the robot base. A deterministic geometric transformation composes the two predictions into a robot base-frame action. This disentangles how I should move in pose-independent camera-centric action generation from where I am looking from in camera-perspective geometric grounding. The resulting policy is calibration-free, depth-free, and single-view, requiring only a single monocular RGB image as the visual observation and task instruction at deployment. Evaluations in both simulation and real-world robot data show that CamVLA consistently improves success rates across diverse unseen viewpoints.
