: Specifically designed to digitize X-Y scatter plots from pictures. It is frequently updated and used for basic 2D data extraction.
: One of the most popular and long-standing utilities for extracting data points from image files (BMP, JPG, TIF, GIF, and PNG). It features a GUI that allows you to calibrate axes by selecting four points and then "grab" data points by clicking along the curve.
: For those looking to automate the process, Steve Eddins’ blog post Automating Data Extraction provides a deep dive into using the Image Processing Toolbox to extract data from line plots.
: Detailed walkthroughs for tools like Gravit (or GRABIT) demonstrate how to load images, calibrate linear or log axes, and export data directly to the MATLAB workspace. General Digitization Workflow
Several powerful MATLAB-based tools and blog resources exist for digitizing (extracting data from) plots in images. The most effective approach typically involves using specialized GUI tools from the MATLAB Central File Exchange . Top MATLAB Plot Digitization Tools
Regardless of the specific tool, the process generally follows these steps: Scalar plot digitizer - File Exchange - MATLAB Central
