🎨 ColorBench

📖 Paper | 💻 GitHub

ColorBench is a multimodal dataset to comprehensively assess capabilities of VLMs in color understanding, including color perception, reasoning, and robustness, introduced in "ColorBench: Can VLMs See and Understand the Colorful World? A Comprehensive Benchmark for Color Perception, Reasoning, and Robustness".

It provides:

  • More than 5,800 image-text questions covering diverse application scenarios and practical challenges for VLMs evaluation.
  • 3 categories and 11 tasks for various color-centric capabilities evaluation including Perception (Color Recognition, Color Extraction and Object Recognition), Reasoning (Color Proportion, Color Comparison, Color Counting, and more) and Robustness.

📃 Instruction

The data/test*.parquet files contain the dataset annotations and images pre-loaded for processing with HF Datasets.

from datasets import load_dataset

color_bench = load_dataset("umd-zhou-lab/ColorBench")

📂 Dataset Description
