BeyondMasks: New Evaluation for Causal and Physical Consistency in Video Object Removal

Recent generative video models have improved visual realism in video object removal, but current evaluations focus only on masked region fidelity. The paper argues that object removal should be treated as a causal intervention, requiring removal of induced physical effects like shadows and reflecti...

AI-assisted summary based on the listed source.

Recent advances in generative video models have significantly improved visual realism in video object removal, yet evaluation protocols still focus on masked region fidelity, treating removal as local inpainting. In real scenes, object removal is a causal intervention: eliminating an object also requires removing...

This approach highlights the need for more comprehensive evaluation protocols that consider the physical and causal impacts of object removal in videos. Addressing these factors can lead to more realistic and coherent video editing results.
