Evaluation of synthetic images is important for both model development and selection. An ideal evaluation should be specific, accurate and aligned with human perception. This paper addresses the problem of evaluating realism of objects in synthetic images. Although methods has been proposed to evaluate holistic realism, there are no methods tailored towards object-centric realism evaluation. In this work, we define a new standard for assessing object-centric realism that follows a shape-texture breakdown and proposes the first object-centric realism evaluation dataset for synthetic images. The dataset contains images generated from state-of-the-art image generative models and is richly annotated at object level across a diverse set of object categories. We then design and train the OLIP model, a dedicated architecture that considerably outperforms any existing baseline on object-centric realism evaluation.
