SNF-Bench: Separating Static Drift from Natural Flow in Long-Horizon Fixed-Camera Video Generation

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

SNF-Bench is an evaluation framework for long‑horizon fixed‑camera video generation that separates static background fidelity from dynamic flow persistence and drift leakage. It reports these three factors independently, using controlled injections of translation, rotation, scale drift, and progressive freezing to validate each metric’s sensitivity. Auditing public checkpoints shows that whole‑frame motion metrics can mislead, while SNF‑Bench reveals the true trade‑offs between motion quality and background stability.

Steady-Forcing: Balancing Spatial Persistence and Motion Continuity in Long-Horizon Nature Video Diffusion

arXiv:2606. 14732v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Autoregressive video diffusion models enable streaming generation but often degrade over long rollouts: static scene layouts drift, while mechanisms that improve spatial stability tend to suppress motion, causing natural flows such as water, fire, or smoke to stagnate.

PERSIST: Persistent-State Discrimination for Shot Boundary Detection

PERSIST redefines shot boundary detection as a task of semantic discrimination, requiring a persistent update of a video’s latent temporal state rather than a transient visual change. It employs a FiLM‑conditioned sinusoidal representation network and a structured discriminator that fuses local change, transient impulse, and return‑to‑trend cues into a single interpretable per‑frame signal. The method achieves comparable recall to leading detectors while significantly reducing false positives from flash, text overlay, and archival artifacts, and it is trained solely on real transitions from ClipShots.

MESSENGER: Memory-Enhanced Sequential Scene Flow Estimation via Autoregressive Next-Frame Forecasting

The paper introduces MESSENGER, a memory‑enhanced sequential scene flow estimation framework that uses a memory buffer to store past flow estimates and latent states. By retrieving and correlating these stored flows for each new frame, the method performs next‑frame forecasting and incorporates an uncertainty‑aware reweighting module to reduce error accumulation. Experiments on nuScenes and Argoverse 2 show significant improvements, reducing EPE3D by 71.6% and 67.7% respectively in long‑horizon predictions.
