🥭 FruitBench: A Multimodal Benchmark for Fruit Growth Understanding

Paper: *FruitBench: A Multimodal Benchmark for Comprehensive Fruit Growth Understanding *

---

📌 Dataset Summary

FruitBench is the large-scale multimodal benchmark designed to evaluate vision-language models on real-world agricultural understanding. It focuses on fruit growth modeling, supporting:

• 🍎 Fruit Type Classification
• 🌱 Growth Stage Recognition (unripe, pest-damaged, mature, rotten)
• 🌾 Agricultural Action Recommendation (keep for further growth, picking it, try to recover it, discard it)
• 🍽️ Consumer Score Prediction (1–100)

The dataset contains 32000 high-quality expert-annotated images covering 16 fruit categories, each across 4 growth stages. For ease of review and download, 10% of the dataset has been uploaded; please contact the authors if access to the full dataset is required.

🔍 Tasks

1. Type Classification
2. Growth Stage Identification
3. Action Recommendation
4. Consumer Score Prediction

All tasks are evaluated under both zero-shot and one-shot settings using multimodal large language models (MLLMs).

Evaluation

We evaluate a total of 15 multimodal models of different types and sizes, covering diverse model architectures, parameter scales, and vision-language capabilities. The evaluated models include:

• CogVLM2-Llama3-Chat
• DeepSeek-VL-Chat
• DeepSeek-VL2
• InternVL2_5
• Janus-Pro
• Mantis-siglip-llama3
• Mantis-Idefics2
• MiniCPM-Llama3-V2_5
• MiniCPM-o-2.6
• mPLUG-OWL3
• Qwen2.5-VL-Instruct
• Yi-VL
  (15 models in total, with various types and sizes)

⚙️ Environment Setup

We provide both conda and pip setup options (Python 3.11 recommended).

✅ Option A: Conda (Recommended)

conda env create -f environment.yml
conda activate fruitbench

✅ Option B: pip

pip install -r requirements.txt
