通过运动轨迹的物理一致性检测AI生成视频,发现其看似流畅却违背物理规律。
MotionPhys: Detecting AI-Generated Videos via Physical Consistency of Optical-Flow Trajectories

- 将稀疏运动轨迹视为物理证据,跨时间尺度建模轨迹几何演化。
- 在多个数据集上实现高精度检测,对不同生成模型泛化性强。
- 无需依赖视觉瑕疵或特定生成器痕迹,适合真实场景应用。
现代AI视频生成模型虽能生成高视觉保真度、看似平滑的时序画面,但视觉逼真并不等同于物理运动一致性。现有生成模型主要优化像素或隐空间的分布匹配,未显式引入惯性、连续力和轨迹几何等现实约束。实验表明,AI生成视频在短序列帧内仍具视觉合理性,但在完整动作过程中会丧失物理运动一致性,导致运动轨迹出现系统性统计偏差。基于此,我们提出MotionPhys,一种轻量且可解释的框架,将稀疏运动轨迹视为物理证据,而非依赖外观伪影或生成器特有痕迹。通过建模轨迹在多时间尺度上的几何演化,MotionPhys揭示了传统视觉线索难以捕捉的细微运动不一致,并将其转化为紧凑表征以实现高效检测。在多个数据集上的实验表明,MotionPhys能有效识别生成视频中的物理不一致性,且对不同视频生成器具有良好的泛化能力。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Modern AI video generation models can produce videos with high visual fidelity and seemingly smooth temporal transitions. However, visual realism does not necessarily imply physical motion consistency. Existing generative models mainly optimize distribution matching in pixel or latent spaces, without explicitly enforcing real-world constraints such as inertia, continuous forces, and trajectory geometry. Our experiments show that AI-generated videos remain visually plausible over short sequences of consecutive frames, yet fail to preserve physical motion consistency throughout a complete object action, resulting in systematic statistical discrepancies in their motion trajectories. Based on this observation, we introduce MotionPhys, a lightweight and interpretable framework that treats sparse motion trajectories as physical evidence rather than relying on appearance artifacts or generator-specific traces. By modeling the geometric evolution of trajectories across multiple temporal scales, MotionPhys reveals subtle motion inconsistencies that are difficult to capture with conventional visual cues and transforms them into a compact representation for efficient detection. Experiments on multiple datasets show that MotionPhys can effectively detect physical inconsistencies in generated videos and generalizes well across different video generators.
