Summary

Video Geometry Corrector learns to repair warped structures and broken parallax after generation, without changing the source model.

Generated video can look plausible frame by frame while buildings bend and camera motion collapses into cuts. Video Geometry Corrector treats that as a repair problem. The team creates synthetic pairs by distorting real camera-motion clips, then trains a video-to-video model to recover the consistent target with optical flow as an auxiliary cue. Across pose-conditioned and prompt-driven tests, the authors report improved geometry for multiple source generators, with larger backbones extending the effect. Because the supervision is synthetic and the evidence is benchmark-based, the work does not establish universal correction. It does show a modular path for improving geometric consistency without retraining every generator.
