| contents | Multi-modal large language models (MLLMs) have demonstrated remarkable vision-language capabilities, primarily due to the exceptional in-context understanding and multi-task learning strengths of large language models (LLMs). The advent of visual instruction tuning has further enhanced MLLMs' performance in vision-language understanding. However, while existing MLLMs adeptly recognize \textit{what} objects are in an image, they still face challenges in effectively discerning \textit{where} these objects are, particularly along the distance (scene depth) axis. To overcome this limitation in MLLMs, we introduce Proximity Question Answering (Proximity QA), a novel framework designed to enable MLLMs to infer the proximity relationship between objects in images. The framework operates in two phases: the first phase focuses on guiding the models to understand the relative depth of objects, and the second phase further encourages the models to infer the proximity relationships between objects based on their depth perceptions. We also propose a VQA dataset called Proximity-110K, containing additional instructions that incorporate depth information and the proximity relationships of objects. We have conducted extensive experiments to validate Proximity QA's superior ability in depth perception and proximity analysis, outperforming other state-of-the-art MLLMs. Code and dataset will be released at \textcolor{magenta}{https://github.com/NorthSummer/ProximityQA.git}. |
