PhyProbe: Rethinking Physical Consistency Evaluation in Generated Videos
Evaluating the physical consistency of generated videos remains a fundamental challenge. Existing approaches rely on off-the-shelf vision-language models, which can often be myopic to physical dynamics, or fine-tuned evaluators trained on human annotations, which overfit to dataset-specific cues and fail to generalize. A key challenge is that existing supervision sources provide either relative ordering or absolute scores, but not both reliably and consistently across varied settings. To this end, we introduce PhyProbe, an evaluator that extracts features from a frozen pretrained spatio-temporal encoder and maps them to a scalar physical consistency violation score via a lightweight scori...
