COMEX - Crop mIoU: leaderboard
COMEX (ZTE, 2026) is a composition-grounded benchmark for explainable aesthetic image cropping; this board covers the zero-shot general-purpose vision-language models, not the classic or fine-tuned cropping systems the paper also reports. Mean crop IoU measures the overlap between the predicted crop box and the expert crop on a native 0 to 1 scale, higher is better.
Metric: Mean crop IoU (0-1, native; overlap between the predicted crop box and the expert crop over the COMEX test set of expanded images; zero-shot). Source: arxiv.org. Saturation forecast: Around 2031. 15 models tracked.
