FloodReasonBench
FloodReasonBench is a benchmark for vision-language model reasoning segmentation in flood response scenarios. It introduces FloodResponseSeg, a flood-specific dataset, and evaluates pipelines under lightweight visual encoding, split inference, and compressed representations. It also measures accuracy, latency, energy, and communication tradeoffs on an embedded platform.

Why it matters
Reasoning segmentation for flood response has domain-specific constraints, and this benchmark characterizes model performance and system-level tradeoffs at the edge, which could inform deployment decisions for resource-constrained platforms.
Motivation
Reasoning segmentation enables vision-language models (VLMs) to translate mission-relevant language requests into pixel-level visual grounding, offering a natural perception interface for embodied agents.
