FlameVQA: A Physically-Grounded UAV Wildfire VQA Benchmark with Radiometric Thermal Supervision (opens in new tab)

Wildfire monitoring from UAVs requires reliable reasoning over complex aerial scenes, where smoke, scale variation, and occlusions often limit RGB-only interpretation. We introduce FlameVQA, a multiple-choice visual question answering benchmark for UAV-based wildfire intelligence built on FLAME 3, leveraging paired RGB imagery and radiometric thermal TIFFs for temperature-grounded, safety-critical reasoning. FlameVQA includes 34 multiple-choice ...
