We are excited to share our latest research—CDD-IIE-Bench v1.0!
This is an open-source evaluation suite for Instruct-based Image Editing (IIE) tasks, dedicated to providing Comprehensive, in-Depth, and Diagnostic (CDD) evaluation standards. The dataset consists of 2 major categories, 5 intermediate categories, 21 sub-categories, and 33 fine-grained categories, totaling 1,341 test cases.

To ensure evaluation accuracy, we employ manual evaluation (Golden Metric). Twelve vision experts randomly ordered generated images from different models under the same instruction. For 21 evaluation tasks, each task has 3 specific evaluation dimensions and a 5-point rating scale (where 1 = Poor, 5 = Excellent). Each level has clear criteria. For instance, the "Object Addition" task includes three dimensions: "Instruction Adherence," "Visual Naturalness," and "Physical and Detail Consistency." The 5-point standard for "Instruction Followed" is as follows:
- Score 5: All specified attributes are correct and scene logic is coherent; only minor microscopic imperfections.
- Score 4: Main attributes correct; only slight deviations in details or 1-2 small features missing.
- Score 3: Correct category but key attributes (position, color, size, quantity, etc.) are incorrect.
- Score 2: Added object category is wrong or unrelated to the instruction.
- Score 1: No content added, or added content is damaged/invalid.

We conducted manual evaluations on the current latest open-source instruction-based editing models, and the results are shown below:
