Fidelity-driven data augmentation for multimodal large language model on architectural heritage interpretation
摘要
Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) offer transformative potential for architectural heritage interpretation but struggle with nuanced spatial and semantic analysis. This limitation stems from a critical shortage of large-scale, high-fidelity training data. We address this gap with a fidelity-driven data augmentation framework incorporating Structural- and Semantic-aware Augmentation modules into a diffusion model. The framework generates 1672 high-fidelity synthetic images paired with 59,884 VQA samples. Quantitative evaluations demonstrate that these synthetic images preserve spatial-structural and semantic fidelity comparable to real-world data. Furthermore, MLLMs fine-tuned on this dataset show significantly improved reasoning performance without overfitting or interference. By addressing fundamental data constraints, our framework facilitates the transition from traditional, task-specific tools to general-purpose, instruction-following MLLMs capable of supporting diverse heritage preservation and urban analysis tasks.
