  Deep learning technology has made great progress in multi-view 3D
reconstruction tasks. At present, most mainstream solutions establish the
mapping between views and shape of an object by assembling the networks of 2D
encoder and 3D decoder as the basic structure while they adopt different
approaches to obtain aggregation of features from several views. Among them,
the methods using attention-based fusion perform better and more stable than
the others, however, they still have an obvious shortcoming -- the strong
independence of each view during predicting the weights for merging leads to a
lack of adaption of the global state. In this paper, we propose a global-aware
attention-based fusion approach that builds the correlation between each branch
and the global to provide a comprehensive foundation for weights inference. In
order to enhance the ability of the network, we introduce a novel loss function
to supervise the shape overall and propose a dynamic two-stage training
strategy that can effectively adapt to all reconstructors with attention-based
fusion. Experiments on ShapeNet verify that our method outperforms existing
SOTA methods while the amount of parameters is far less than the same type of
algorithm, Pix2Vox++. Furthermore, we propose a view-reduction method based on
maximizing diversity and discuss the cost-performance tradeoff of our model to
achieve a better performance when facing heavy input amount and limited
computational cost.
