VTC-Bench (Interface 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 the same 32 OpenCV-based tools invoked through a function-calling interface, 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.
