Counterfactual Physical Consistency Benchmark

Do Vision Models Learn Physical Constraints or Rendering Shortcuts? A Counterfactual Benchmark for Grounded Physical Consistency

About

The benchmark uses Mitsuba 3 to generate 5,500 images from 500 scene families, pairing clean scenes with controlled physical violations like missing shadows or unsupported objects. It provides category labels, masks, and metadata without manual annotation.

Evaluation measures category macro-F1 on held-out scenes and under intervention shifts. Baselines like LLaVA-1.5 achieve ~64% F1 in-distribution but drop significantly under shift, revealing reliance on rendering shortcuts.
