# PVC-Judge: Pairwise Visual Consistency Judge

PVC-Judge is a state-of-the-art 8B assessment model for evaluating image editing models in visual consistency. It is a pairwise preference model designed to capture the preservation of identity, structure, and semantic coherence between edited and original images.

The model was introduced in the paper [GEditBench v2: A Human-Aligned Benchmark for General Image Editing](https://arxiv.org/abs/2603.28547) and is implemented as a LoRA adapter for [Qwen/Qwen3-VL-8B-Instruct](https://huggingface.co/Qwen/Qwen3-VL-8B-Instruct).

## 🚀 Quick Start

To use PVC-Judge, you typically need to merge the LoRA weights with the base model.

### 1. Merge LoRA weights
This step requires `torch`, `peft`, and `transformers`.

```bash
python ./scripts/merge_lora.py \
  --base-model-path /path/to/Qwen3/VL/8B/Instruct \
  --lora-weights-path /path/to/LoRA/Weights \
  --model-save-dir /path/to/save/PVC/Judge/model
```

### 2. Deployment or Local Inference
You can serve the merged model via vLLM or run local evaluation as described in the [official repository](https://github.com/ZhangqiJiang07/GEditBench_v2).

**Local Inference:**
```bash
# Setup environment
conda env create -f environments/pvc_judge.yml
conda activate pvc_judge

# Run evaluation
bash ./scripts/local_eval.sh vc_reward
```
