**TLDR:** An architectural approach that combines visual inputs with external knowledge sources to produce more grounded multimodal answers.

<p>Multimodal RAG for vision combines visual observation with access to external knowledge. A system can determine not only what it sees in an image, but also how to interpret that observation using relevant documents, catalogs, procedures, or knowledge bases. This provides a powerful framework for maintenance systems, medical support, field operations, and enterprise visual assistants. It turns visual perception into knowledge-grounded decision support.</p>
