MultiView-Bench

Evaluation data for MultiView-Bench: A Diagnostic Benchmark for World-Centric Multi-View Integration in VLMs (arXiv:2607.08970).

This repository currently contains the synthetic image-and-text portion of the benchmark. The real-world subset is not included; see the scope note below.

Contents

  • 2,400 evaluation samples across 24 benchmark variants
  • 7,900 PNG views (2.94 GiB logical image data)
  • One, three, or six images per sample
  • English question text and deterministic coordinate answer
  • Single-agent and multi-agent question schemas

The 3D Real World / exp3D_real_world_50 subset is intentionally excluded. It uses 3DCoMPaT++ source assets and is not part of this release. This package also contains no GLTF, BIN, model asset, source code, credentials, or model outputs.

Task previews

Each sample asks for a relative 3D position and must be solved by integrating the evidence across its views.

Colored-object three-view task

Question: What is the relative position of the olive cone to the indigo cube?
Answer: (-X, -Y, -Z)

Front Side Top
Front view of colored-object task 17 Side view of colored-object task 17 Top view of colored-object task 17

3D isometric task

Question: What is the relative position of the cylinder to the cone?
Answer: (0X, 0Y, -Z)
The full sample contains six views; three are shown here.

View 0 View 2 View 4
Isometric view 0 of 3D task 7 Isometric view 2 of 3D task 7 Isometric view 4 of 3D task 7

Full 3D reasoning (DoF=3)

Task variant: 3D DoF=3 (unconstrained placement along X, Y, and Z)
Question: What is the relative position of the cube to the cylinder?
Answer: (-X, +Y, +Z)
The full sample contains six views; three are shown here.

View 0 View 2 View 4
View 0 of full 3D task 1 View 2 of full 3D task 1 View 4 of full 3D task 1

Single-view 3D task

Task variant: 3D Single View
Question: What is the relative position of the cube to the cylinder?
Answer: (-X, +Y, +Z)
Unlike the multi-view variants, this sample exposes only one isometric view.

Grid-assisted three-view task

Task variant: 2D Three Views Grids
Question: What is the relative position of the cylinder to the sphere?
Answer: (0X, -Y, -Z)
The projected coordinate grids provide additional alignment cues in each view.

Front Side Top

Rotated-coordinate task (90°)

Task variant: 2D Three Views Rotation (90°)
Question: What is the relative position of the cube to the cone?
Answer: (+X, 0Y, -Z)
The coordinate frame is rotated to test whether the model follows the visible axes rather than relying on a conventional orientation.

Front Side Top

Multi-agent three-view task

Task variant: 2D Three Views multiagent (Rotation 0)
Question: What is the relative position of the sphere to the cone?
Answer: (-X, -Y, +Z)
Each view has its own axis-pair prompt (front_question, side_question, or top_question) so three view-specific responses can be combined into the full XYZ answer.

Front agent: XZ Side agent: YZ Top agent: XY
Front-agent view of task 17 Side-agent view of task 17 Top-agent view of task 17

Load

After upload:

from datasets import load_dataset

dataset = load_dataset("suijinru/MultiViewBench", split="test")
sample = dataset[0]
print(sample["benchmark"], sample["question"], sample["answer"])
print(sample["images"])

For a local pre-upload check:

dataset = load_dataset("imagefolder", data_dir="test", split="train")

ImageFolder derives the images column from the images_file_names list in test/metadata.jsonl. The Hub recognizes columns ending in _file_names as image lists.

Fields

  • benchmark: benchmark variant identifier
  • task_variant: human-readable task variant label used to group corresponding results in the paper; it is not a row number. For the 3D variants, DoF describes the object-placement constraint: DoF=1 restricts objects to the same axis, DoF=2 restricts them to the same plane, and DoF=3 allows unconstrained placement in 3D space.
  • task_id: task identifier within the variant
  • mode: single or multi
  • question: complete prompt for single-agent samples
  • front_question, side_question, top_question: per-view prompts for multi-agent samples
  • answer: expected coordinate answer
  • images_file_names: ordered relative paths to all views
  • num_views: number of views

All rows are evaluation data; do not use them for training when reporting MultiView-Bench scores.
