Abstract

Modern computer vision models achieve high accuracy when trained on large-scale annotated datasets. In critical domains such as construction safety monitoring, data collection is costly, hazardous, and ethically constrained. This paper presents a systematic study comparing two complementary data generation paradigms, (1) Unity Simulation-based rendering and (2) Controllable Diffusion-based generation (CIA), for object detection under real data-scarce conditions. A unified experimental framework enables controlled dataset mixing across real, simulated, and generative sources, while maintaining identical model and training settings. Quantitative evaluation using Precision, Recall, mAP, and custom $Δ$-metrics, reveals that neither simulation nor generative augmentation alone achieves optimal transferability. Unity-only training yields an mAP@0.5 drop of $-50\%$ relative to real data, while CIA-only training shows a milder $-16.5\%$ degradation. Hybrid compositions significantly improve performance, with the 90\% real + 10\% Unity configuration achieving the best overall mAP@0.5 of $62.68\%$ ($+7.64\%$ over baseline), and the 90\% real + 10\% CIA configuration maximizing precision at $74.45\%$. Results demonstrate that limited synthetic inclusion enhances generalization, while excessive substitution induces domain drift.
