# Read text and objects in images Model / vision image transformation, recognition, OCR, barcodes Page: ## Status Not built yet. arcform does not do this yet. [Its place on the roadmap](https://meridian.online/roadmap#read-text-and-objects-in-images) ## Variants - Read text and codes in images: Extract printed text, tables or barcodes from images by optical character recognition. - Recognise objects in images: Classify images or detect the objects and shapes they contain. - [Transform images](https://meridian.online/operations/read-text-and-objects-in-images/transform-images): Change or convert images, such as cropping, resizing, rotating, thresholding or turning pixels into a table. ## What other tools call it Meridian's classification; an independent blind rating agreed on 86.2% of 312 rows (exact class, version 2). - Alteryx Designer: [`Barcode Tool`](https://help.alteryx.com/current/en/designer/tools/alteryx-intelligence-suite/computer-vision/barcode.html) (read 2026-09-27) - Alteryx Designer: [`Image Processing`](https://help.alteryx.com/current/en/designer/tools/alteryx-intelligence-suite/computer-vision/image-processing.html) (read 2026-09-27) - Alteryx Designer: [`Image Recognition`](https://help.alteryx.com/current/en/designer/tools/alteryx-intelligence-suite/computer-vision/image-recognition.html) (read 2026-09-27) - Alteryx Designer: [`Image Template`](https://help.alteryx.com/current/en/designer/tools/alteryx-intelligence-suite/computer-vision/image-template.html) (read 2026-09-27) - Alteryx Designer: [`Image to Text`](https://help.alteryx.com/current/en/designer/tools/alteryx-intelligence-suite/computer-vision/image-to-text.html) (read 2026-09-27) - mlpack: [`Image preprocessing`](https://www.mlpack.org/doc/user/preprocessing.html) (read 2026-09-27) - mlpack: [`YOLOv3`](https://www.mlpack.org/doc/user/modeling.html) (read 2026-09-27) - RapidMiner Studio: [`Add Region`](https://docs.rapidminer.com/latest/studio/operators/extensions/Image%20Processing/regions/add_region.html) (read 2026-09-27) - RapidMiner Studio: [`Align Image`](https://docs.rapidminer.com/latest/studio/operators/extensions/Image%20Processing/transformations/align_image.html) (read 2026-09-27) - RapidMiner Studio: [`Apply Threshold`](https://docs.rapidminer.com/latest/studio/operators/extensions/Image%20Processing/transformations/apply_threshold.html) (read 2026-09-27) - RapidMiner Studio: [`Base64 to Image`](https://docs.rapidminer.com/latest/studio/operators/extensions/Operator%20Toolbox/utility/base64_to_image.html) (read 2026-09-27) - RapidMiner Studio: [`Blur Image`](https://docs.rapidminer.com/latest/studio/operators/extensions/Image%20Processing/transformations/blur_image.html) (read 2026-09-27) - RapidMiner Studio: [`Color Scale Image`](https://docs.rapidminer.com/latest/studio/operators/extensions/Image%20Processing/transformations/color_scale_image.html) (read 2026-09-27) - RapidMiner Studio: [`Convert Color`](https://docs.rapidminer.com/latest/studio/operators/extensions/Image%20Processing/transformations/color_convert.html) (read 2026-09-27) - RapidMiner Studio: [`Crop Image`](https://docs.rapidminer.com/latest/studio/operators/extensions/Image%20Processing/transformations/crop_image.html) (read 2026-09-27) - RapidMiner Studio: [`Detect Lines`](https://docs.rapidminer.com/latest/studio/operators/extensions/Image%20Processing/other/detect_lines.html) (read 2026-09-27) - RapidMiner Studio: [`Detect Text (OCR)`](https://docs.rapidminer.com/latest/studio/operators/extensions/Image%20Processing/other/ocr.html) (read 2026-09-27) - RapidMiner Studio: [`Dilate Image`](https://docs.rapidminer.com/latest/studio/operators/extensions/Image%20Processing/transformations/dilate_image.html) (read 2026-09-27) - RapidMiner Studio: [`Erode Image`](https://docs.rapidminer.com/latest/studio/operators/extensions/Image%20Processing/transformations/erode_image.html) (read 2026-09-27) - RapidMiner Studio: [`Extract Image Information`](https://docs.rapidminer.com/latest/studio/operators/extensions/Image%20Processing/data_access/image_to_description_table.html) (read 2026-09-27) - RapidMiner Studio: [`Flip Image`](https://docs.rapidminer.com/latest/studio/operators/extensions/Image%20Processing/transformations/flip_image.html) (read 2026-09-27) - RapidMiner Studio: [`Generate Pixel Aggregation`](https://docs.rapidminer.com/latest/studio/operators/extensions/Image%20Processing/transformations/generate_pixel_aggregation.html) (read 2026-09-27) - RapidMiner Studio: [`Image to Base64`](https://docs.rapidminer.com/latest/studio/operators/extensions/Operator%20Toolbox/utility/image_to_base64.html) (read 2026-09-27) - RapidMiner Studio: [`Image to Table`](https://docs.rapidminer.com/latest/studio/operators/extensions/Image%20Processing/data_access/img_to_table.html) (read 2026-09-27) - RapidMiner Studio: [`Invert Image`](https://docs.rapidminer.com/latest/studio/operators/extensions/Image%20Processing/transformations/invert_image.html) (read 2026-09-27) - RapidMiner Studio: [`Resize Image`](https://docs.rapidminer.com/latest/studio/operators/extensions/Image%20Processing/transformations/resize_image.html) (read 2026-09-27) - RapidMiner Studio: [`Rotate Image`](https://docs.rapidminer.com/latest/studio/operators/extensions/Image%20Processing/transformations/rotate_image.html) (read 2026-09-27) - RapidMiner Studio: [`Table to Image`](https://docs.rapidminer.com/latest/studio/operators/extensions/Image%20Processing/data_access/table_to_image.html) (read 2026-09-27) - RapidMiner Studio: [`Translate Image`](https://docs.rapidminer.com/latest/studio/operators/extensions/Image%20Processing/transformations/translate_image.html) (read 2026-09-27)
