Outline

VisualOverload is a novel Visual Question Answering (VQA) benchmark designed to verify whether state-of-the-art Visual Language Models (VLMs) truly address basic visual understanding. It consists of 2,720 question-answer pairs, using high-resolution public-domain images with complexly detailed backgrounds and multiple characters, actions, and subplots. This benchmark challenges VLMs to perform simple, knowledge-free visual tasks in dense scenes, and it hypothesizes that current benchmarks may overestimate the performance of VLMs. Our tests show that even the best models exhibit low accuracy on VisualOverload, demonstrating that detail encoding and inference remain challenging. Error analysis uncovers several failure modes in VLMs.

Takeaways, Limitations

•

Takeaways:

◦

Currently, VLMs struggle to understand details in complex and dense scenes.

◦

VisualOverload exposes the weaknesses of VLM and provides valuable resources for developing better models.

◦

This suggests that existing VQA benchmarks may overestimate the actual performance of VLM.

•

Limitations:

◦

The model fails to maintain logical consistency in counting, OCR, and complex tasks.

◦

Even the best performing model among the 37 models tested had low accuracy.
