To address this gap, we introduce TomaMMU, a large-scale Tomato leaf disease MultiModal Understanding dataset, alongside TomaBench, a benchmark for evaluating VLMs on tomato disease understanding. TomaMMU comprises 28,808 high-quality images spanning 15 categories and 213,119 human-annotated visual question-answer pairs, generated through a three-stage pipeline comprising Data Collection, Human Annotation, and Question-Answer Generation.
BeeWhere is an AI-assisted workflow that merges ArUco fiducial detections with deep‑learnt instance segmentations to analyze bumble bee colonies. Using high‑resolution images of Bombus impatiens microcolonies, the system annotates thousands of bee instances, pollen balls, nest structures, and chamber boundaries, and trains YOLO models for behavioral metrics such as nearest‑neighbor distance and spatial occupancy. In a validation study, BeeWhere outperformed tag‑based tracking, especially under occlusion, and revealed pesticide‑induced changes in bee spatial organization that tag‑based methods missed.

AgriScope is a unified pixel‑grounded multimodal framework designed for agricultural image understanding. It supports image‑level, region‑level, and pixel‑level tasks such as grounded caption generation, referring expression segmentation, and multi‑turn multimodal interaction. The authors also introduce AgriGround, a large‑scale dataset with over 500K images and 11M instruction‑following samples, created via an automatic annotation pipeline that combines caption generation, phrase‑level grounding, segmentation mask creation, and instruction synthesis.

AgriScope is a unified pixel‑grounded multimodal framework designed for agricultural image understanding, supporting image‑level, region‑level, and pixel‑level tasks such as grounded caption generation, referring expression segmentation, and multi‑turn multimodal interaction. It incorporates biologically specialized semantic representations with dense spatial grounding through biological‑semantic encoding, dense spatial representations, and pixel decoding. The authors also introduce AgriGround, a large‑scale dataset of over 500K images and 11M instruction‑following samples, created via an automatic annotation pipeline that combines caption generation, phrase‑level grounding, segmentation mask generation, and task‑oriented instruction synthesis to provide densely grounded supervision for agricultural vision‑language learning.
