Beyond Static Vision: Scene Dynamic Field Unlocks Intuitive Physics Understanding in Multi-modal Large Language Models
While Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have demonstrated impressive capabilities in image and video understanding, their ability to comprehend the physical world has become an increasingly important research focus. Despite their improvements, current MLLMs struggle significantly with high-level physics reasoning. In this work, we investigate the first step of physical reasoning, i.e., intuitive physics understanding, revealing substantial limitations in understanding the dynamics of continuum objects. To isolate and evaluate this specific capability, we introduce two fundamental benchmark tasks: Next Frame Selection (NFS) and Temporal Coherence Verification (TCV). Our experiments ...
