针对中国农村道路，用真实与合成数据混合提升自动驾驶目标检测性能。

Currently, autonomous driving object detection models face significant data scarcity and generalization challenges when navigating complex Chinese rural traffic scenarios. To address these limitations, we propose a novel real-synthetic mixed object detection dataset tailored specifically for Chinese rural roads and systematically evaluate the performance of 13 mainstream detectors under different real-to-synthetic data ratios, thereby providing empirical evidence for model selection and data strategy design in rural autonomous driving scenarios. Our dataset combines real-world images captured in Weishi County, Henan Province, with parameterized virtual scenes generated via Unreal Engine. To accurately reflect the unique realities of rural traffic, we define a comprehensive 14-category object system encompassing region-specific elements such as electric tricycles, low-speed vehicles (LSVs), and roadside stalls. Under a unified training protocol, we systematically evaluate 13 mainstream detectors -- spanning the YOLOv5, YOLOv8, YOLO11, and YOLO26 series, as well as RT-DETR-L -- across three data configurations: an all-real baseline, a 1:0.5 real-to-virtual mix, and a 1:1 mix. Experimental results demonstrate that a moderate injection of synthetic data (1:0.5 ratio) effectively enhances detection performance, with YOLO11m achieving the highest [email protected] of 0.758. However, a higher proportion of synthetic data (1:1) introduces domain shifts that offset the benefits of data scaling. While most models reliably identify distinct local vehicles, significant perceptual bottlenecks remain for long-tail, non-standard objects like stalls and railings. This research provides crucial empirical evidence and novel insights for model selection and synthetic data strategies, facilitating the practical deployment of autonomous driving perception systems in rural areas.
