Physically Plausible Video Generation via Visual-Semantic Chain-of-Events Conditioning

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

The paper introduces Physically Plausible Video Generation (PPVG), a method that generates videos consistent with physical laws by treating physical evolution as a chain of causally connected events. It employs three modules: Physics-driven Event Chain Reasoning to decompose phenomena into scene-graph events, Transition-aware Routed Keyframe Conditioning to guide keyframe synthesis for smooth transitions, and Physics-injected Contrastive Semantic Guidance to steer generation toward plausible dynamics. Experiments on multiple physics benchmarks show improved physical plausibility compared to prior approaches.

Physics-Aware Video Generation via Agentic Planning and Graph-Guided Optimization

PhysPlan is a training‑free guidance framework that enhances video diffusion models by incorporating physical awareness through agentic physics simulation. It uses a vision‑language model to generate a Chain‑of‑Visual‑Thought representation of kinematic trajectories and 3D depth, which then drives an object‑centric test‑time optimization that isolates kinematic changes and locks the passive environment. The framework also employs Kinetic Intensity Profiling to adapt hyperparameters to varying physical deformations, and demonstrates superior performance on PhyGenBench and Physics‑IQ benchmarks compared to existing VDM baselines.

PhysMRV: Physical Memory Retrieval and Verification for Physics Plausibility Reasoning

arXiv:2607. 10190v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Video-language models (VLMs) have achieved remarkable performance on video understanding and visual question answering, yet they remain unreliable in reasoning about physical plausibility, where understanding object interactions, causal dynamics, and fundamental physical principles is essential.
