Does AI Understand Imaging? A Systematic Benchmark of Agentic AI for Computational Imaging Tasks
Ethan Chung, Chuanjun Zheng, Jasper Tan, Jingxi Li, Haopeng Zhang, Huaijin Chen
Vision-language models (VLMs) and agentic AI have shown strong performance on semantic visual tasks, but it remains unclear whether they can handle the physics and inverse problems that underlie computational imaging. We present ImagingBench, a benchmark of 20 computational imagi…
