PVBench: Quantifying Physical Plausibility in Video Generation with Object-Level Physical Measurements

Recent video generation models produce visually compelling outputs, yet their physical plausibility remains poorly measured.

Key points

  • Physical plausibility asks whether generated objects obey geometry, kinematics, dynamics, and conservation laws.
  • Existing benchmarks rely on coarse visual-language model judgments or target embodied world models rather than video generation itself.
  • PVBench comprises 600 carefully crafted prompts, of which 30% involve physical embodied agents such as robot arms, humanoids, quadrupeds, and multi-agent systems.
  • By releasing the benchmark, prompts, and calibration protocol, we aim to foster physically grounded video generation.
