Abstract

Automated inspection of segmental tunnel linings requires adaptive segmentation from 3D point clouds, yet expert-tuned pipelines often degrade when tunnel conditions vary. This paper presents R4Tun, a large language model (LLM)-driven adaptation framework that extends an expert-designed pipeline (SAM4Tun) with bounded parameter tuning informed by structured context: memory ($m$), state ($s$), and knowledge ($k$). Evaluated on 30 selected Seg2Tunnel subsets (13 regular, 17 complex) across three LLMs, the full $m+s+k$ design raised mean Intersection-over-Union (mIoU) from 0.18 to 0.43--0.48 and overall accuracy (OA) from 0.42 to 0.59--0.65 relative to the static SAM4Tun baseline, with the near-reference regular (staggered) subsets reaching mIoU 0.784--0.796 across LLMs. Across 270 (30 tunnels $\times$ 3 different LLMs $\times$ 3 context settings) runs, the LLMs showed similar parameter-adjustment trends (with overlapping 95\% CIs on mean gains) and consistently adjusted a shared set of critical parameters. These results support R4Tun as a controlled, label-free, cross-LLM adaptation mechanism in the tested SAM4Tun--Seg2Tunnel setting, demonstrating consistent accuracy gains; we position R4Tun as a mechanism contribution rather than a deployable final-inspection system, in which each bounded parameter change is auditable via logged rationales.
