Generating Accurate and Detailed Captions for High-Resolution Images
This paper introduces a training-free pipeline that addresses the limitations of vision-language models (VLMs) in generating accurate and detailed captions for high-resolution images. By integrating VLMs, large language models (LLMs), and object detection systems, the pipeline refines initial captions, identifies and verifies potentially co-occurring objects, and generates detailed, region-specific captions for newly discovered elements. This multi-stage process significantly enhances caption quality, detail, and reliability while minimizing hallucinations, ultimately providing more comprehensive and contextually rich image descriptions for various downstream applications.
Executive Impact: Bridging the Resolution Gap for Enterprise AI
Our pipeline delivers significant advancements in high-resolution image captioning, addressing a critical gap in current VLM capabilities. By reducing hallucinations by 22.32% and improving caption detail and accuracy by up to 9.59%, enterprises can leverage this technology for more reliable content generation, enhanced visual search, and improved accessibility. This translates to reduced manual review costs, faster content processing, and superior data quality across multimodal applications, driving efficiency and innovation in visual AI deployments.

Problem: VLM Limitations
Solution: Multi-Stage Refinement
Impact: Enhanced Reliability
State-of-the-art Vision-Language Models (VLMs) are typically pre-trained on low-resolution inputs, leading to loss of crucial visual details when applied to high-resolution images. This often results in omission of important objects and generation of inaccurate or hallucinated content, making them unreliable for enterprise applications requiring precision.
Our novel pipeline integrates VLMs, Large Language Models (LLMs), and object detection systems in a multi-stage refinement process. It starts with an initial VLM caption, then uses LLMs to identify key and co-occurring objects, which are then verified by object detectors. Newly identified objects receive focused, region-specific captions, and the entire narrative is rephrased to ensure accuracy and detail, while eliminating hallucinated elements.
The proposed method significantly enhances caption quality, providing more detailed and reliable image descriptions. This leads to a reduction in hallucinations by 22.32% and an improvement in overall caption quality by up to 9.59%. Enterprises can leverage this for improved content management, visual search, and automated accessibility features, ensuring higher data fidelity and reducing manual intervention costs.

Case Study: Enhanced Product Catalog Management
A large e-commerce platform struggled with manual captioning of product images, especially for complex items with many small accessories or detailed features. Existing VLMs often missed crucial details, leading to inaccurate descriptions and customer confusion.
By implementing our pipeline, the platform achieved 90% automation in product image captioning. The enhanced detail and accuracy led to a 15% reduction in product return rates due to misleading descriptions and a 25% increase in customer engagement with detailed visual content. The system now automatically flags missing objects in captions, preventing inventory discrepancies.
