SketchVerify introduces a training-free framework for physics-aware video generation, iteratively refining motion plans using lightweight video sketches and a multimodal verifier. This approach achieves substantially more physically plausible and temporally consistent video outputs while being significantly more efficient than prior iterative refinement methods.

Key insights

  • Decoupling motion plan verification from full video synthesis via lightweight video sketches allows for efficient test-time iterative refinement, providing a nearly 93% speed-up over full video-based iterative methods.
  • Multimodal verification (visual input + language) is crucial for accurately assessing both semantic instruction following and fine-grained physical plausibility, outperforming language-only verifiers.
  • Iterative sampling and scoring of candidate trajectories by MLLM planners and verifiers enables the selection of dynamically coherent and physically consistent motion plans prior to expensive pixel-level diffusion.
