metric
VBench Appearance Style — CLIP ViT-B/32 text-image alignment.
Per-frame cosine similarity between CLIP image features and a text
prompt describing the expected style. Requires sample["text_prompt"].
fastvideo.eval.metrics.vbench.appearance_style.metric.BaseMetric
BaseMetric()
Abstract base class for all eval metrics.
Two execution shapes:
-
Per-sample (
is_set_metric=False, default) — implement :meth:compute. The Evaluator calls it once per input sample and returns one :class:MetricResultper sample. -
Set-vs-set (
is_set_metric=True) — implement :meth:accumulate(called once per sample to buffer features) and :meth:finalize(called once after all samples to compute the corpus-level result). Use :meth:resetto clear buffers and :meth:merge_fromto fold multi-GPU per-worker state together.
Optionally override :meth:setup to eagerly load models. Metrics
that chunk along the time dim for memory hardcode their own chunk
size in __init__ (see optical_flow for the canonical
example). Eval always processes one video per
:meth:Evaluator.evaluate call; compute / accumulate
receive a single sample, not a batch.
fastvideo.eval.metrics.vbench.appearance_style.metric.BaseMetric.to
to(device: str | torch.device) -> BaseMetric
Move metric (and its internal models) to device.
fastvideo.eval.metrics.vbench.appearance_style.metric.BaseMetric.setup
setup() -> None
Eagerly load models. Called once by :class:EvalWorker.
Default is a no-op; metrics with no eager state (pixel math, closed-form ops) inherit this. Override only if your metric needs to load weights.
fastvideo.eval.metrics.vbench.appearance_style.metric.BaseMetric.compute
compute(sample: dict) -> MetricResult
Per-sample metrics: compute the score for one sample.
sample["video"] is (T, C, H, W) float in [0, 1].
sample["reference"] (if used) has the same shape. Return
self._skip(sample, reason) for missing inputs.
fastvideo.eval.metrics.vbench.appearance_style.metric.BaseMetric.reset
reset() -> None
Clear accumulator state at the start of each evaluate() call.
fastvideo.eval.metrics.vbench.appearance_style.metric.BaseMetric.accumulate
accumulate(sample: dict) -> None
Buffer per-sample features for a corpus-level metric.
fastvideo.eval.metrics.vbench.appearance_style.metric.BaseMetric.finalize
finalize() -> MetricResult
Compute the corpus-level result from buffered state.
fastvideo.eval.metrics.vbench.appearance_style.metric.BaseMetric.merge_from
merge_from(other: BaseMetric) -> None
Multi-GPU: fold another worker's accumulator state into this one.
fastvideo.eval.metrics.vbench.appearance_style.metric.register
register(name: str)
Decorator to register a metric class.
Usage::
@register("ssim")
class SSIMMetric(BaseMetric):
...
fastvideo.eval.metrics.vbench.appearance_style.metric.MetricResult
MetricResult(name: str, score: float | None, details: dict[str, Any] = dict())
Standard result container returned by all metrics.
score is None when the metric was skipped (e.g. missing
required input). Check details["skipped"] for the reason.
