World Models: Relative Camera Movement Benchmark

Rapidatabenchmark@rapidata.ai

Abstract

This benchmark ranks world and video generation models on whether they can move the camera to a place defined by the scene itself, such as behind the sofa, into the driver’s seat or to the dog’s point of view, starting from a single still image. The rankings are updated continuously from 955,708 responses across 158,383 pairwise human-preference matches. Quality is decomposed into capability dimensions: a fixed, curated prompt set paired with a single criterion, fitted with a Bradley–Terry model on the Elo scale. All data and judgments are public.

1  Methodology

We evaluate generative model performance purely on human feedback. Humans perform inconsistently on absolute judgements, but much better in a comparative setting. Our rating is therefore based on pair-wise matches, the results of which are jointly fit using the Bradley–Terry model where the probability of model m beating model m′ is given by:

P(m ≻ m′) =eβmeβm + eβm′=11 + e−(βm − βm′)(1)

A match pairs outputs from two models for the same prompt. As evaluating all permutations is infeasible, matches are sampled, ensuring broad coverage per model. The resulting scores are scaled to the familiar Elo range via Rm = 400 βm + 1000 (2), which stretches standard Elo by ln 10 ≈ 2.3 to better highlight differences in model capability.

We wrote 220 camera instructions for 50 scenes, each placing the camera relative to what its scene contains rather than along a stated direction, held fixed to ensure reproducibility of the results.

To ensure trustworthy ratings we employ several measures, notably annotator pre-filtering via gold-standard questions, and redundancy, collecting a minimum of m responses per match (m = 5) and deciding the winner by majority. Read more

1. Evaluation dimensions
Each prompt in the fixed set is evaluated separately across one dimension. Each vote addresses only one dimension, using the dedicated question shown below. (The word “description” refers to the prompt’s camera instruction.)

Alignment
Which video matches the description better?
2. Prompt set version
We wrote 220 one-sentence camera instructions for 50 scenes. Every instruction is relative: it says where the camera goes in terms of what the scene contains (around behind the sofa, into the driver’s seat, to the dog’s point of view). Each prompt asks for a camera movement, a perspective switch or both, and is tagged by how many motions it combines: one or two. The scenes themselves are photographs found on the internet, not scenes shot or rendered for the benchmark. The set is held fixed, ensuring reproducibility of the results.
3. Model generation protocol
Every model generates from the same input (the still the video starts from and a one-sentence camera instruction) using its standard available configuration. For each entrant, we record the provider, model identifier and generation date. Material changes to the model or generation configuration are evaluated separately.
4. Matchmaking
Matchups are sampled from the full pool, and each ranked model is included in at least 3,664 matches.
5. Judgements
This round aggregates 158,383 matches, each decided by the majority of at least 5 judgements from distinct annotators.
6. Annotator audience
This round was judged by a dedicated audience rather than the global pool. Annotators qualify on gold-standard relative camera-movement comparisons (pairs whose correct answer is known) and are removed from the audience when their agreement with those falls below an accuracy threshold of 75%.
7. Public artifacts and limitations
The round is published as a Parquet dataset on Hugging Face: one row per matchup, carrying the prompt, both outputs, the weighted score of every dimension and each individual judgement with the annotator’s user score, country, language, gender and age. Safety filters refused a handful of generations, leaving six entrants with 210 to 219 of the 220 clips. Rankings are human preference judgements from the audience named above, with no automated metrics.

We use crowd intelligence to deliver real, diverse human feedback at scale for model evaluation and post-training.
