Evaluation of model performance on the GEOBench VLM dataset for Visual Question Answering, reporting metrics including Object Localization & Counting, Scene Understanding, Object Classification, and Event Detection.

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.

| Scope | Recorded value |
| --- | --- |
| Task | Visual Question Answering |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | GEOBench VLM |
| Metric | Object Localization & Counting Score |
| Unit | SCALAR |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 8 of 8 |
| Coverage | All results currently returned for this benchmark |

Evaluation settings may differ between results. The original papers and recorded configurations are needed to establish comparability. A shared metric name alone does not establish an identical protocol.

## Metrics

- [Object Localization & Counting Score](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/visual-question-answering-on-geobench-vlm.md?metric=Object%20Localization%20%26%20Counting%20Score>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [Scene Understanding Score](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/visual-question-answering-on-geobench-vlm.md?metric=Scene%20Understanding%20Score>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [Object Classification Accuracy](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/visual-question-answering-on-geobench-vlm.md?metric=Object%20Classification%20Accuracy>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [Event Detection Score](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/visual-question-answering-on-geobench-vlm.md?metric=Event%20Detection%20Score>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [Average Score](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/visual-question-answering-on-geobench-vlm.md?metric=Average%20Score>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.
