Recent advances in image-to-video generation have improved visual realism, making physically grounded and controllable dynamics an important step toward future world simulation. Current models often generate plausible motion, but it is not reliably governed by explicit physical causes, and instance-level constraints can leak or become entangled in multi-object interactions.

WildRelight is the first in-the-wild dataset designed to evaluate single-image relighting models, featuring high-resolution outdoor scenes captured under strictly aligned, temporally varying natural illuminations paired with high-dynamic-range environment maps. The benchmark demonstrates that state-of-the-art models trained on synthetic data suffer severe domain shifts when applied to real-world imagery. Leveraging the dataset’s temporal structure, the authors introduce a physics-guided inference framework combining Diffusion Posterior Sampling with Temporal Sampling-Aware Test-Time Adaptation, enabling synthetic models to self-supervise and align with real-world statistics on-the-fly.

The paper introduces Driving with DINO (DwD), a framework that uses Vision Foundation Module (VFM) features to bridge simulation and real-world domains for autonomous driving video generation. It addresses the consistency‑realism dilemma by projecting VFM features onto a principal subspace, dropping high‑frequency texture elements, and applying a Random Channel Tail Drop to preserve structural detail. Additional components— a learnable Spatial Alignment Module and a Causal Temporal Aggregator— enhance control precision, spatial alignment, and temporal stability, reducing motion blur and ensuring realistic, consistent outputs.
