UAVQA-Bench - Visual Grounding: leaderboard
UAVQA-Bench (Fudan University, 2026) asks multimodal models 1,500 human-annotated questions about drone images drawn from 13 public UAV datasets, mostly multiple choice with some bounding-box grounding. This dimension covers simple, complex-semantic and highest-object grounding with a normalized bounding box, correct at IoU 0.5 or more. Score is accuracy in percent; higher is better.
Metric: Accuracy (%; simple, complex-semantic and highest-object grounding with a normalized bounding box, correct at IoU 0.5 or more; direct answering over UAVQA-Bench: 1,500 human-annotated questions on images from 13 public UAV datasets, 16 tasks in six capability dimensions, multiple choice plus box grounding counted correct at IoU 0.5).
