Data Description

The Turing Eye Test (TET) as presented in Paper 'Pixels, Patterns, But No Poetry: To See the World Like Humans'.

This benchmark includes four tasks:

• HiddenText: comprises scale-variant items where text is rendered as shapes within the figure, appearing as text when reduced and resolving into a complete image when magnified, which contains 150 images.
• 3DCaptcha: involves recognition challenges constructed with curved characters in the three-dimensional space, which consists of 150 Captchas.
• ColorBlind: similar to Ishihara tests, but augmented with confounding colored dots that are chromatically similar to the central character to increase difficulty. We generate 150 such test images.
• ChineseLigatures: features complex glyphs synthesized through character decomposition, morphological transformation, and fusion of multiple Chinese characters, which includes different words or phrases.
