arXiv:2607.02718v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent advances in large-scale image generative models enable photorealistic scene synthesis with controllable attributes. Beyond data augmentation, their potential as diagnostic tools for trained vision systems remains unexplored in the aerial and remote sensing domains. We introduce a synthetic diagnostic framework for aerial-view vehicle detection that combines text-guided generation, attribute-controlled editing, and automated attribute verification to construct a controllable synthetic testbed. This enables fine-grained evaluation of pretr
Advances in large-scale image generative models have reached a point where their photorealistic synthesis capabilities can be leveraged beyond content creation, allowing for novel applications in rigorous system diagnostics.
This development offers a powerful, scalable method to diagnose and improve vision systems, particularly critical for fields like defence and surveillance, by enabling fine-grained testing without relying solely on real, often scarce, data.
The ability to create controllable, synthetic testbeds using AI means that the evaluation and improvement of aerial-view object detectors can become more systematic, comprehensive, and rapid than before.
