Your One-Stop Solution for AI-Generated Video Detection — Long Ma et al. (2026) (arXiv:2601.11035, 2026)
What this evaluates
Evaluates the ability of AI-generated video detectors to distinguish between real and synthetically generated videos across diverse generation models, tasks (T2V, I2V, V2V), and temporal/spatial artifacts.
Datasets
- AIGVDBench — total 440000; splits: test (-1); repo https://github.com/LongMa-2025/AIGVDBench
Metrics
accuracy(primary) — range: [0, 1]- Standard binary classification accuracy: the proportion of correctly classified videos (real vs. AI-generated) out of the total evaluated. Calculated as correct predictions divided by total predictions.
Input / output format
Input: Videos preprocessed by uniformly sampling 32 frames from the first 128 frames (or all frames if <128), center-cropped, resized to 256×256, and saved as PNG. For inference/training, only the first 8 sampled frames are used.
Output: Binary classification label indicating whether the video is real or AI-generated (or probability scores if supported by the detector).
Scoring recipe
def calculate_accuracy(predictions, labels):
correct = sum(1 for p, l in zip(predictions, labels) if p == l)
return correct / len(labels)
Common pitfalls
- Using all 32 sampled frames for inference instead of the specified first 8 frames, which violates the benchmark's evaluation protocol.
- Assuming that higher objective quality of the generation model directly leads to lower detection accuracy, as the paper explicitly finds no consistent positive correlation.
- Evaluating Vision-Language Models (VLMs) solely on hard label outputs without probability thresholds, which complicates accurate performance assessment.
Evidence (verbatim from paper)
We preprocess each video by uniformly sampling 32 frames from its first 128 frames (or all available frames if the total is fewer than 128). Each frame is center-cropped along the shorter side and resized to 256×256 resolution. To maintain format consistency, all frames are saved in PNG format. In model training and inference, only the first 8 of the 32 sampled frames are used. ... A key limitation is their output of only labels rather than probabilities, complicating accuracy assessment.
