| # SenseBench |
|
|
| > A benchmark for remote sensing low-level visual perception and description in large vision-language models. |

|
|
| ## Overview |
|
|
| SenseBench is the first dedicated diagnostic benchmark for remote sensing (RS) low-level visual perception and description. Driven by a physics-based hierarchical taxonomy, it features over 10K curated instances across 6 major and 22 fine-grained RS degradation categories. It is designed to evaluate whether Vision-Language Models (VLMs) can overcome the domain gap to perceive and articulate RS-specific artifacts. |
|
|
| The benchmark evaluation consists of two complementary protocols: |
| 1. **Objective low-level visual perception**: Evaluating the model's ability to identify the presence and type of distortions. |
| 2. **Subjective diagnostic description**: Evaluating the model's ability to articulate RS artifacts in natural language based on completeness, correctness, and faithfulness. |
|
|
| ## Supported Tasks |
|
|
| - **Visual Question Answering**: Multiple-choice questions assessing degradation type and severity. |
| - **Image-to-Text / Diagnostic Description**: Natural language generation describing visual artifacts. |

| ## Data format |
|
|
| Each example contains image paths, a question, an answer, and metadata describing the distortion type. |
