# Gestalt Pattern Reasoning Benchmark

![alt text](intro.png "Title")

This repository contains a dataset and benchmarking framework for **Gestalt pattern reasoning**. 
The dataset consists of thousands of procedurally generated visual patterns based on **Gestalt principles**, 
including proximity, similarity, closure, symmetry, and continuity. 
The benchmark is designed to evaluate both human and AI performance in recognizing and reasoning about these patterns.


## Github
The Dataset Generator and Benchmark Evaluation Code is on the [Github](https://github.com/akweury/grb).

## Dataset

principle_all_resolution_224_num_100.zip: includes 5 Gestalt Principles, each task has 100 examples for each labels. The image resolution is 224x224.
