NightIQA-Bench - Technical Assessment: leaderboard

Nighttime image-quality understanding MCQs across perception, technical assessment, localization and reasoning. MCQ accuracy (%). NightIQA-Bench v1 Table2,1078held-out MCQs from816scene-disjoint images, all0–100accuracy. Zero-shot baseline protocol; local SFT+GRPO8B is a separately trained named system. Native source does not resolve every instruct/thinking checkpoint or closed-model snapshot; those remain source scoped. Sampled random guess is a reference, not an evaluated model.

Metric: MCQ accuracy (%). Source: arxiv.org. Saturation forecast: Rough model projection: around 2026. 23 models tracked.
