Description
### Problem Description
We currently only have Apache Tika as an extraction tool. This doesn't support image content extraction.
### Proposed Solution
If we implement [Tesseract OCR](https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract) (or something similar) we can add image content extraction to the extraction service.
### Alternatives
Other tools are also acceptable if we investigate first.
### Additional Context
This should be extractable from the same endpoint that Tika is extracted from `/extract_text`, but would require adding a param for extraction type so we can differentiate between Tika and the image extractor.
The response format should be identical.
