Abstract:Robustness of image classification has several benchmarks, but their video counterparts are absent. In video classification temporal dimension introduces additional degrees of freedom for adversarial attacks, defenses, and preprocessing. Temporal sampling, perturbation budgets, and metric aggregation also interact in ways with no direct analogue in the image setting. Therefore, robustness for video classifiers is studied across scattered, incompatible implementations, making reported numbers hard to reproduce and analyze. We introduce VCR-Bench, a modular open-source benchmark framework that standardizes video loading, wrappers for classifiers, adversarial attacks and defenses, perceptual metrics, configuration presets, and result logging. VCR-Bench currently integrates 30 video classification models, 14 adversarial attacks, and 10 defense wrappers under a common evaluation protocol. We evaluate representative video classifiers, attacks, and defenses on Kinetics-400 subset, reporting clean accuracy, attack success rate, perceptual quality, runtime, and memory usage. VCR-Bench is released with documented installation, reproducible run presets, component-extension interfaces, and scripts for reproducing the reported results at this https URL.
