LithoBench: Benchmarking Large Multimodal Models for Remote-Sensing Lithology Interpretation

ArXi:2605.07640v1 Announce Type: cross Remote sensing lithology interpretation is fundamental to geological surveys, mineral exploration, and regional geological mapping. Unlike general land-cover recognition, lithology interpretation is a knowledge-intensive task that requires experts to infer rock types from various features, e.g., subtle visual, spectral, textural, geomorphological, and contextual cues, making reliable automated interpretation highly challenging.
