Is it possible to extract data from an external plot?

Hi!

My question is simple, I have a motor performance curve (I'll add the fig for reference), which was obtained from the motor datasheet, I don't have more data or information, just the image. Is it possible to extract the data from this curve and create a matrix or some kind of variable with MATALB?

Thanks to all for your help!

The curve provided above contains specific colors, using image analysis to create a plot can help getting the desired answer. Following is one of the possible ways of doing it:

• Read the image to MATLAB workspace using imread()
• Extract the individual channels of the image using imsplit()
• Using Image Viewer from Toolstrip under Apps, find the shift in the coordinate system and transform the coordinates of the channels accordingly.
