Abstract


Video generation has witnessed significant advancements yet evaluating these models remains a challenge. A comprehensive evaluation benchmark for video generation is indispensable for two reasons: 1) Existing metrics do not fully align with human perceptions; 2) An ideal evaluation system should provide insights to inform future developments of video generation. To this end we present VBench a comprehensive benchmark suite that dissects "video generation quality" into specific hierarchical and disentangled dimensions each with tailored prompts and evaluation methods. VBench has three appealing properties: 1) Comprehensive Dimensions: VBench comprises 16 dimensions in video generation (e.g. subject identity inconsistency motion smoothness temporal flickering and spatial relationship etc). The evaluation metrics with fine-grained levels reveal individual models' strengths and weaknesses. 2) Human Alignment: We also provide a dataset of human preference annotations to validate our benchmarks' alignment with human perception for each evaluation dimension respectively. 3) Valuable Insights: We look into current models' ability across various evaluation dimensions and various content types. We also investigate the gaps between video and image generation models. We will open-source VBench including all prompts evaluation methods generated videos and human preference annotations and also include more video generation models in VBench to drive forward the field of video generation.
