PlantMicro: leaderboard

PlantMicro (2026) evaluates vision-language models on microscopic plant images from light, fluorescence and electron microscopy, with multiple-choice identification of image attributes and biological entities plus counting and localization. This board is macro accuracy in percent, the mean over the eight four-option identification tasks, zero-shot; higher is better.

Metric: Macro accuracy (%): mean of the eight identification-task accuracies; four-option multiple choice on microscopic plant images (light, fluorescence and electron microscopy) with distractors drawn from the same metadata field; zero-shot, unified prompt. Source: arxiv.org. Saturation forecast: Around June 2027. 11 models tracked.
