VTC-Bench (Code Tools) - Perceptual Restoration: leaderboard
Metric: Pass rate (%) on perceptual restoration (50 questions under haze or low light), answering VTC-Bench's 680 visual questions (538 multiple-choice, 142 open-ended) that call for chains of image operations with 32 OpenCV-based tools invoked by writing code (Qwen-Agent, or the Thyme framework for the open tool-use models), up to 20 rounds; rule matching plus a GPT-4o judge for open answers; proprietary models in high reasoning mode; higher is better. Source: arxiv.org. Saturation forecast: Around 2029. 19 models tracked.
