<p>VBench Color — GRiT dense captioning for color accuracy.</p>
<p>Detects the target object via GRiT and checks if the expected color
keyword appears in the object's caption. Score = frames_with_correct_color
/ frames_with_object_detected.</p>
<h2 id="fastvideo.eval.metrics.vbench.color.metric.BaseMetric"><code>fastvideo.eval.metrics.vbench.color.metric.BaseMetric</code></h2>
<pre class="doc-signature"><code>BaseMetric()</code></pre>
<p>Abstract base class for all eval metrics.</p>
<p>Two execution shapes:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p><strong>Per-sample</strong> (<code>is_set_metric=False</code>, default) — implement
  :meth:<code>compute</code>. The Evaluator calls it once per input sample and
  returns one :class:<code>MetricResult</code> per sample.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p><strong>Set-vs-set</strong> (<code>is_set_metric=True</code>) — implement
  :meth:<code>accumulate</code> (called once per sample to buffer features)
  and :meth:<code>finalize</code> (called once after all samples to compute
  the corpus-level result). Use :meth:<code>reset</code> to clear buffers and
  :meth:<code>merge_from</code> to fold multi-GPU per-worker state together.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Optionally override :meth:<code>setup</code> to eagerly load models. Metrics
that chunk along the time dim for memory hardcode their own chunk
size in <code>__init__</code> (see <code>optical_flow</code> for the canonical
example). Eval always processes one video per
:meth:<code>Evaluator.evaluate</code> call; <code>compute</code> / <code>accumulate</code>
receive a single sample, not a batch.</p>

<h3 id="fastvideo.eval.metrics.vbench.color.metric.BaseMetric.to"><code>fastvideo.eval.metrics.vbench.color.metric.BaseMetric.to</code></h3>
<pre class="doc-signature"><code>to(device: str | torch.device) -&gt; BaseMetric</code></pre>
<p>Move metric (and its internal models) to <em>device</em>.</p>
<h3 id="fastvideo.eval.metrics.vbench.color.metric.BaseMetric.setup"><code>fastvideo.eval.metrics.vbench.color.metric.BaseMetric.setup</code></h3>
<pre class="doc-signature"><code>setup() -&gt; None</code></pre>
<p>Eagerly load models. Called once by :class:<code>EvalWorker</code>.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<h3 id="fastvideo.eval.metrics.vbench.color.metric.BaseMetric.compute"><code>fastvideo.eval.metrics.vbench.color.metric.BaseMetric.compute</code></h3>
<pre class="doc-signature"><code>compute(sample: dict) -&gt; MetricResult</code></pre>
<p>Per-sample metrics: compute the score for one sample.</p>
<p><code>sample["video"]</code> is <code>(T, C, H, W)</code> float in <code>[0, 1]</code>.
<code>sample["reference"]</code> (if used) has the same shape. Return
<code>self._skip(sample, reason)</code> for missing inputs.</p>
<h3 id="fastvideo.eval.metrics.vbench.color.metric.BaseMetric.reset"><code>fastvideo.eval.metrics.vbench.color.metric.BaseMetric.reset</code></h3>
<pre class="doc-signature"><code>reset() -&gt; None</code></pre>
<p>Clear accumulator state at the start of each evaluate() call.</p>
<h3 id="fastvideo.eval.metrics.vbench.color.metric.BaseMetric.accumulate"><code>fastvideo.eval.metrics.vbench.color.metric.BaseMetric.accumulate</code></h3>
<pre class="doc-signature"><code>accumulate(sample: dict) -&gt; None</code></pre>
<p>Buffer per-sample features for a corpus-level metric.</p>
<h3 id="fastvideo.eval.metrics.vbench.color.metric.BaseMetric.finalize"><code>fastvideo.eval.metrics.vbench.color.metric.BaseMetric.finalize</code></h3>
<pre class="doc-signature"><code>finalize() -&gt; MetricResult</code></pre>
<p>Compute the corpus-level result from buffered state.</p>
<h3 id="fastvideo.eval.metrics.vbench.color.metric.BaseMetric.merge_from"><code>fastvideo.eval.metrics.vbench.color.metric.BaseMetric.merge_from</code></h3>
<pre class="doc-signature"><code>merge_from(other: BaseMetric) -&gt; None</code></pre>
<p>Multi-GPU: fold another worker's accumulator state into this one.</p>
<h2 id="fastvideo.eval.metrics.vbench.color.metric.register"><code>fastvideo.eval.metrics.vbench.color.metric.register</code></h2>
<pre class="doc-signature"><code>register(name: str)</code></pre>
<p>Decorator to register a metric class.</p>
<p>Usage::</p>
<pre><code>@register("ssim")
class SSIMMetric(BaseMetric):
    ...
</code></pre>
<h2 id="fastvideo.eval.metrics.vbench.color.metric.MetricResult"><code>fastvideo.eval.metrics.vbench.color.metric.MetricResult</code></h2>
<pre class="doc-signature"><code>MetricResult(name: str, score: float | None, details: dict&#91;str, Any&#93; = dict())</code></pre>
<p>Standard result container returned by all metrics.</p>
<p><code>score</code> is <code>None</code> when the metric was skipped (e.g. missing
required input).  Check <code>details["skipped"]</code> for the reason.</p>
