Inter-Edit-Test
Official test benchmark release for the CVPR 2026 paper:
Inter-Edit: First Benchmark for Interactive Instruction-Based Image Editing
This repository hosts the public release of Inter-Edit-Test, a human-annotated benchmark for the Interactive Instruction-based Image Editing (I^3E) task.
Each sample contains:
- a source image,
- a coarse user-style interaction mask,
- a concise editing instruction,
- and a ground-truth edited image.
To simplify large-scale distribution on Hugging Face, image assets are packaged as tar archives while metadata remains directly accessible.
Highlights
- 6,250 human-annotated test pairs
- Bilingual instructions: English and Chinese
- User-style coarse masks, rather than segmentation-perfect masks
- High-resolution benchmark
- Challenging subsets including artistic styles, low-resolution images, low-aesthetic images, and ambiguous multi-instance edits
- Sanitized public release: all filenames are re-indexed to remove source-specific naming information

Archive contents use index-based sanitized names:
source_images/00000_source.xxxtarget_images/00000_gt.xxxmasks/00000_mask.xxx
Metadata Format
Each record in metadata.json / metadata.jsonl contains:
index: zero-based dataset indexsource_path: relative path inside the extracted archivegt_path: relative path inside the extracted archivemask_path: relative path inside the extracted archiveedit_type: edit categorylanguage: instruction languageinstruction: concise editing instruction
Quick Start
Extract the archives after download:
tar -xf source_images.tar
tar -xf target_images.tar
tar -xf masks.tar
Then load metadata as usual:
import json
from pathlib import Path
root = Path(".")
with open(root / "metadata.json", "r", encoding="utf-8") as f:
meta = json.load(f)
sample = meta[0]
source = root / sample["source_path"]
target = root / sample["gt_path"]
mask = root / sample["mask_path"]
instruction = sample["instruction"]
Benchmark Intent
Inter-Edit-Test evaluates whether a model can:
- correctly understand a concise edit instruction,
- localize the intended region from an imprecise user mask,
- perform the desired edit inside the target area,
- preserve and harmonize the surrounding image naturally.
