New benchmark PROVE improves evaluation of object removal in visual media

Researchers have introduced PROVE, a new benchmark and evaluation framework designed to better assess object removal in images and videos. The framework includes RC metrics (RC-S for spatial coherence and RC-T for temporal consistency) which aim to align more closely with human perception than existing methods. PROVE also comprises PROVE-Bench, a dataset with two tiers: PROVE-M for motion augmentation and PROVE-H for challenging subsets without ground truth. AI

IMPACT This benchmark could lead to more accurate and perceptually aligned evaluation of AI models performing object removal tasks in visual media.

    PROVE: A Perceptual RemOVal cohErence Benchmark for Visual Media

    arXiv:2605.14534v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Evaluating object removal in images and videos remains challenging because the task is inherently one-to-many, yet existing metrics frequently disagree with human perception. Full-reference metrics reward copy-paste behaviors ov…
