PixelCraft Revolutionizes Visual Reasoning on Charts and Diagrams

A new system, PixelCraft, is revolutionizing visual reasoning on structured images like charts and diagrams. Developed by Zexue He, Yikang Shen, Ting Chen, Ramin Zabih, and Karan Desai, this multi-agent system combines the strengths of large multimodal models with traditional computer vision techniques, achieving substantial accuracy gains on benchmarks like CharXiv and ChartQAPro.

PixelCraft's architecture includes a dispatcher, planner, reasoner, critics, and a suite of visual tool agents. It enhances multimodal large language models' reasoning capabilities by augmenting them with visual tools for active image search and manipulation. The system dynamically revisits earlier steps and explores alternative solutions, improving performance on complex chart and geometry benchmarks. It maintains an image memory, allowing the planner to revisit earlier visual steps and explore alternative reasoning branches for more nuanced and accurate interpretation.

Experiments demonstrate that PixelCraft significantly improves visual reasoning performance on structured images, establishing a new standard for this complex task. Future research directions include improving the automation and verification of tool generation, mitigating reliance on a strong backbone MLLM, and enhancing generalization to diverse chart structures and visual styles.

PixelCraft, a novel multi-agent system for high-fidelity visual reasoning on structured images, has shown remarkable success in improving accuracy on complex benchmarks. By combining the strengths of large multimodal models with traditional computer vision techniques and dynamic reasoning processes, it sets a new standard for visual reasoning tasks. Further research is underway to enhance its capabilities and broaden its application.
