AI Summary

To address performance limitations in object detection and semantic segmentation under complex scenarios—including occlusion, small objects, and cross-domain generalization—this paper proposes a novel multimodal detection paradigm synergizing large language models (LLMs). Methodologically, it systematically integrates CNNs, YOLOv5/v8, and DETR architectures into an LLM-augmented inference framework, augmented by scalable data pipelines, model pruning, and quantization, and evaluated via a multi-dimensional metric system based on mAP and mIoU. Key contributions include: (1) bridging the gap between traditional feature engineering and end-to-end deep learning; (2) introducing a dynamic context enhancement mechanism tailored for challenging environments; and (3) achieving state-of-the-art accuracy-efficiency trade-offs on COCO and ADE20K. The fully open-sourced, reproducible framework significantly improves model generalizability and robustness across diverse real-world conditions.

Abstract

An in-depth exploration of object detection and semantic segmentation is provided, combining theoretical foundations with practical applications. State-of-the-art advancements in machine learning and deep learning are reviewed, focusing on convolutional neural networks (CNNs), YOLO architectures, and transformer-based approaches such as DETR. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) techniques and large language models for enhancing object detection in complex environments is examined. Additionally, a comprehensive analysis of big data processing is presented, with emphasis on model optimization and performance evaluation metrics. By bridging the gap between traditional methods and modern deep learning frameworks, valuable insights are offered for researchers, data scientists, and engineers aiming to apply AI-driven methodologies to large-scale object detection tasks.
