More Information
Summary:The invention relates to a computer-implemented method for automatically extracting data from a scatter plot. The method comprises receiving a digital image of a scatter plot; analyzing the received digital image for identifying a plurality of pixel sets, each pixel set being a group of adjacent pixels; analyzing the pixel sets in the received image or in a derivative of the received image for generating a plurality of templates; comparing the templates with pixels of a target image for identifying matching templates; identifying data points for the identified similar templates; assigning to each identified data point a data series; and returning the identified data points.
