MotionPhys: Detecting AI-Generated Videos via Physical Consistency of Optical-Flow Trajectories
Modern AI video generation models can produce videos with high visual fidelity and seemingly smooth temporal transitions. However, visual realism does not necessarily imply physical motion consistency. Existing generative models mainly optimize distribution matching in pixel or latent spaces, without explicitly enforcing real-world constraints such as inertia, continuous forces, and trajectory geometry. Our experiments show that AI-generated videos remain visually plausible over short sequences of consecutive frames, yet fail to preserve physical motion consistency throughout a complete object action, resulting in systematic statistical discrepancies in their motion trajectories. Based on this observation, we introduce MotionPhys, a lightweight and interpretable framework that treats sparse motion trajectories as physical evidence rather than relying on appearance artifacts or generator-specific traces. By modeling the geometric evolution of trajectories across multiple temporal scales, MotionPhys reveals subtle motion inconsistencies that are difficult to capture with conventional visual cues and transforms them into a compact representation for efficient detection. Experiments on multiple datasets show that MotionPhys can effectively detect physical inconsistencies in generated videos and generalizes well across different video generators.
