Multimodal Floorplan Encoding: Learning Dense Modality-Invariant Representations

Floorplans arise in many forms, from vector CAD drawings to raster renderings and sensor-derived density maps. This heterogeneity makes it difficult to build learning systems that transfer across modalities and support geometry-centric tasks such as alignment and retrieval. We introduce the Multimodal Floorplan Encoder (MMFE), which maps diverse 2D indoor representations into a shared dense latent grid. MMFE combines a frozen DINOv3 backbone with a trainable Dense Prediction Transformer (DPT) head, and is trained with a per-cell Information Noise-Contrastive Estimation (InfoNCE) objective that aligns spatially corresponding regions across modalities while using all other cells as negatives. To improve robustness to geometric distortions, we incorporate controlled similarity transformations and enforce geometric consistency through feature-grid warping. On Structured3D, a held-out out-of-domain dataset, MMFE improves cross-modal dense matching, enables robust similarity alignment with RANSAC, and yields strong retrieval when paired with learned aggregation.
