Semantic Robustness Probing via Inpainting: An Interactive Tool for Safety-Critical Object Detection

arXiv:2605.27155v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Testing object detectors in safety-critical domains requires semantically meaningful probes beyond pixel-level corruptions. We present SemProbe, a tool for semantic robustness probing: users upload deployment images, create masks manually or automatically, select operational design domain-derived factors (or custom prompts), and run diffusion-based controlled inpainting. The system supports batch jobs, parallel seed/workflow variations, and configurable generation parameters. After each output, model inference runs automatically and displays annotated before/after comparisons with performance deltas. All probes are logged as structured artifacts, enabling traceable robustness evidence aligned with safety evaluation workflows. We demonstrate extsc{SemProbe} on hand detection for dimension saws, targeting factors from insurance-oriented test criteria.
