## Abstract

The OWM benchmark was proposed in the paper [Envisioning the Future, One Step at a Time](https://huggingface.co/papers/2604.09527) and used to evaluate the [MYRIAD](https://huggingface.co/CompVis/myriad/) model.

OWM is a benchmark of 95 curated videos with motion annotations, with the distribution of motion constrained to enable the evaluation of probabilistic motion prediction methods.
Videos are obtained from Pexels ([Pexels License](https://www.pexels.com/license/)). We manually annotate relevant objects and the type of motion observed. We use an off-the-shelf tracker to obtain motion trajectories and manually verify correctness.

*OWM samples include complex real-world scenes with different motion types and complexities.*

## Usage

We provide code to run the OWM evaluation in our [GitHub repository](https://github.com/CompVis/flow-poke-transformer).

To run the evaluation, first download the data by running `hf download CompVis/owm-95 --repo-type dataset`.

Then run the evaluation script via:
```shell
python -m scripts.myriad_eval.openset_prediction --data-root path/to/data --ckpt-path path/to/checkpoint --dataset-name owm
```
