This repo contains evaluation code for the paper "MMSI-Bench: A Benchmark for Multi-Image Spatial Intelligence" 

[**🌐 Homepage**](https://runsenxu.com/projects/MMSI_Bench/) | [**🤗 Dataset**](https://huggingface.co/datasets/RunsenXu/MMSI-Bench) | [**📑 Paper**](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2505.23764) | [**💻 Code**](https://github.com/OpenRobotLab/MMSI-Bench) | [**📖 arXiv**](https://arxiv.org/abs/2505.23764)



## 🔔News
  **🔥[2025-06-18]: MMSI-Bench has been supported in the [LMMs-Eval](https://github.com/EvolvingLMMs-Lab/lmms-eval) repository.**

  **✨[2025-06-11]: MMSI-Bench was used for evaluation in the experiments of [VILASR](https://arxiv.org/abs/2506.09965).**

  **🔥[2025-06-9]: MMSI-Bench has been supported in the [VLMEvalKit](https://github.com/open-compass/VLMEvalKit) repository.**

  **🔥[2025-05-30]: We released the ArXiv paper.**

## Load Dataset
```
from datasets import load_dataset

mmsi_bench = load_dataset("RunsenXu/MMSI-Bench")
print(mmsi_bench)
```

## After downloading the parquet file, read each record, decode images from binary, and save them as JPG files.
```
import pandas as pd
import os

df = pd.read_parquet('MMSI_Bench.parquet')

output_dir = './images'
os.makedirs(output_dir, exist_ok=True)

for idx, row in df.iterrows():
    id_val = row['id']
    images = row['images']  
    question_type = row['question_type']
    question = row['question']
    answer = row['answer']
    thought = row['thought']

    image_paths = []
    if images is not None:
        for n, img_data in enumerate(images):
            image_path = f"{output_dir}/{id_val}_{n}.jpg"
            with open(image_path, "wb") as f:
                f.write(img_data)
            image_paths.append(image_path)
    else:
        image_paths = []

    print(f"id: {id_val}")
    print(f"images: {image_paths}")
    print(f"question_type: {question_type}")
    print(f"question: {question}")
    print(f"answer: {answer}")
    print(f"thought: {thought}")
    print("-" * 50)
```
