VTR-Bench is a new benchmark designed to evaluate how well video generation models render text within scenes. It includes 300 prompts across five real-world scenarios such as advertisements and scientific videos, and uses an automated pipeline with human alignment to assess text fidelity and scene/motion requirements. Experiments on 11 state‑of‑the‑art models show that even the best performer has a word error rate of 0.250, underscoring widespread challenges in visual text rendering.

VGA‑BenchV2 is an expanded, human‑aligned benchmark and optimization framework that jointly evaluates video generation quality and aesthetic value. It builds on the original VGA‑Bench taxonomy, adding 52 sub‑dimensions and 1,016 curated prompts to generate over 60,000 videos from 12 mainstream models. The benchmark significantly enlarges human supervision with 36,000 task‑level annotations and introduces a hybrid evaluator (VAQA‑Net, VTag‑Net, VGQA‑Net) that aligns well with human judgments and can be used as a reward model for reinforcement‑learning fine‑tuning.

Automated evaluation is essential for scaling generative 3D systems, where exhaustive human review is costly and slow. However, the reliability of an automated judge depends on the entire evaluation pipeline, not only the underlying vision-language model (VLM), but also how assets are rendered, what visual evidence is provided, how the task is specified, and how human reference labels are constructed.
VOR-Bench is a new benchmark for video object removal that addresses shortcomings in current evaluation methods by providing a dataset with paired edited videos and graffiti masks, a realistic motion-capable paired-video acquisition framework (rMPAF), and a perception-driven scoring model (VOR-MDSM). The dataset includes diverse data from model-generated, tool-rendered, and camera-captured sources, ensuring robust real-world assessment. Experiments show that VOR-Bench’s evaluation results correlate strongly (ρ > 0.9) with human subjective judgments, bridging the gap between traditional metrics and human preference.
