Abstract

Reconstructing dynamic scenes with multiple interacting humans and objects from sparse-view inputs is a critical yet challenging task, essential for creating high-fidelity digital twins for robotics and VR/AR. This problem, which we term Multi-Human Multi-Object (MHMO) rendering, presents two significant obstacles: achieving view-consistent representations for individual instances under severe mutual occlusion, and explicitly modeling the complex and combinatorial dependencies that arise from their interactions. To overcome these challenges, we propose MM-GS, a novel hierarchical framework built upon 3D Gaussian Splatting. Our method first employs a Per-Instance Multi-View Fusion module to establish a robust and consistent representation for each instance by aggregating visual information across all available views. Subsequently, a Scene-Level Instance Interaction module operates on a global scene graph to reason about relationships between all participants, refining their attributes to capture subtle interaction effects. Extensive experiments on challenging datasets demonstrate that our method significantly outperforms strong baselines, producing state-of-the-art results with high-fidelity details and plausible inter-instance contacts.

HOIGS: Human-Object Interaction Gaussian Splatting

Reconstructing dynamic scenes with complex human-object interactions is a fundamental challenge in computer vision and graphics. Existing Gaussian Splatting methods either rely on human pose priors while neglecting dynamic objects, or approximate all motions within a single field, limiting their ability to capture interaction-rich dynamics. To address this gap, we propose Human-Object Interaction Gaussian Splatting (HOIGS), which explicitly models interaction-induced deformation between humans and objects through a cross-attention-based HOI module. Distinct deformation baselines are employed to extract features: HexPlane for humans and Cubic Hermite Spline (CHS) for objects. By integrating these heterogeneous features, HOIGS effectively captures interdependent motions and improves deformation estimation in scenarios involving occlusion, contact, and object manipulation. Comprehensive experiments on multiple datasets demonstrate that our method consistently outperforms state-of-the-art human-centric and 4D Gaussian approaches, highlighting the importance of explicitly modeling human-object interactions for high-fidelity reconstruction.

CoGS: Compositional Dynamic Human-Object Scenes Gaussian Splatting from Monocular Video

Reconstructing dynamic human--object interaction scenes from monocular video is difficult because the human, manipulated object, and background obey different motion models while sharing the same pixels. Existing dynamic radiance-field and Gaussian-splatting methods often entangle these components, causing object motion to leak into the human or static scene, and monocular human reconstruction remains underconstrained in regions that are rarely observed. We present CoGS, a compositional Gaussian-splatting framework for monocular human--object scene reconstruction. CoGS decomposes the video into three coordinated branches: an articulated human initialized from a complete canonical prior, a rigid object field driven by an estimated object trajectory, and a static scene field regularized by weak scene-only planar primitives when available. A six-stage optimization schedule first stabilizes the human and object independently, then fuses them with the scene under full-image supervision, visibility-aware human anchoring, object silhouette and motion constraints, and delayed scene regularization. This design keeps each component responsible for its own geometry and motion while allowing photometric evidence to correct the final composite. Experiments on HOSNeRF and NeuMan show that CoGS improves both human--object interaction reconstruction and in-the-wild human--scene rendering, achieving stronger fidelity and perceptual quality across full-frame and human-focused evaluations. Code will be released upon publication.

Human Interaction-Aware 3D Reconstruction from a Single Image

Reconstructing textured 3D human models from a single image is fundamental for AR/VR and digital human applications. However, existing methods mostly focus on single individuals and thus fail in multi-human scenes, where naive composition of individual reconstructions often leads to artifacts such as unrealistic overlaps, missing geometry in occluded regions, and distorted interactions. These limitations highlight the need for approaches that incorporate group-level context and interaction priors. We introduce a holistic method that explicitly models both group- and instance-level information. To mitigate perspective-induced geometric distortions, we first transform the input into a canonical orthographic space. Our primary component, Human Group-Instance Multi-View Diffusion (HUG-MVD), then generates complete multi-view normals and images by jointly modeling individuals and group context to resolve occlusions and proximity. Subsequently, the Human Group-Instance Geometric Reconstruction (HUG-GR) module optimizes the geometry by leveraging explicit, physics-based interaction priors to enforce physical plausibility and accurately model inter-human contact. Finally, the multi-view images are fused into a high-fidelity texture. Together, these components form our complete framework, HUG3D. Extensive experiments show that HUG3D significantly outperforms both single-human and existing multi-human methods, producing physically plausible, high-fidelity 3D reconstructions of interacting people from a single image.
