New benchmark IPV-Bench evaluates image protection against AI video generation

Researchers have introduced IPV-Bench, a new benchmark designed to systematically evaluate image protection methods against image-to-video (I2V) generation. The benchmark includes a unified protocol for scoring protection effectiveness, visual fidelity, and robustness to preprocessing attacks, alongside IPV-500, a dataset covering five domains relevant to misuse scenarios. Experiments using IPV-Bench revealed that most protection methods offer limited disruption, protection rarely transfers between different I2V models, and simple preprocessing can break effective protection.

    IPV-Bench: Benchmarking Image Protection Methods under Diverse Image-to-Video Generation Scenarios

    arXiv:2603.26154v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Image-to-video (I2V) generation models can be misused to animate a single image into a convincing fake video, motivating perturbation-based image protection methods that aim to disrupt such generation. Yet these methods remain d…
