Description
.caption()pipeline stage to both batch and in-process ingestors that generates text descriptions for extracted images using a VLM (Nemotron Nano 12B v2 VL via vLLM locally, or a remote NIM endpoint). - Use nv-ingest-api'sextract_image_like_objects_from_pdfium_pageduring PDF extraction to detect, merge, and crop image-like objects (images, shapes, forms) from each page into the images column. - The caption stage filters out small images (< 32px), sends the remaining to the VLM, and writes captions back as images[i]["text"]. Optionally prepends surrounding page text to the VLM prompt viacontext_text_max_chars.Checklist
