 The Dataprep Microservice aims to preprocess the data from various sources (either structured or unstructured data) to text data, and convert the text data to embedding vectors then store them in the database.
 
+## Use LVM (Large Vision Model) for Summarizing Image Data
+
+Occasionally unstructured data will contain image data, to convert the image data to the text data, LVM can be used to summarize the image. To leverage LVM, please refer to this [readme](../lvms/README.md) to start the LVM microservice first and then set the below environment variable, before starting any dataprep microservice.
+
+```bash
+export SUMMARIZE_IMAGE_VIA_LVM=1
+```
