VOR-Bench: A Human Perception-Driven Benchmark for Video Object Removal

RESUMO

Despite its crucial role in video object removal (VOR), existing evaluation paradigms face two critical limitations: questionable references and a misalignment between tradi- tional metrics and human preference. To address these challenges, we introduce VOR- Bench, which advances VOR evaluation through three integrated components. First, we present the VOR Dataset (VORD), the first benchmark dataset providing both paired edited videos and graffiti masks. Its unique strength lies in a diverse data spectrum, which encompasses model-generated, tool-rendered, and camera-captured data, ensuring robust assessment across real-world scenarios. Second, we develop rMPAF, a realistic Motion- capable Paired-video Acquisition Framework. By combining the strengths of image- based object removal and fine-tuned video generation models, rMPAF automatically generates realistic, motion-coherent paired videos. Finally, we propose three evaluation dimensions and introduce VOR-MDSM, the first perception-driven VLM-based scoring model specifically designed for mask-guided VOR. It bridges the gap between arithmetic metrics and human perception by covering the essential visual attributes and matching nuanced human judgment. Extensive experiments demonstrate that VOR-Bench yields evaluation results that align closely with human perception, achieving a remarkable cor- relation (\r{ho} > 0.9) with subjective assessments. We will release VOR-Bench along with its documentation to ensure full reproducibility.
