Extract values from image

Hi,

I've got some data from a magnetic measurement on a surface.

I've plotted these data (see the attached pic). Is there a possibillity to get or extract values from this plot.

I need all values of the picture along the red line.

Many thanks for your help and best regards!!!

I assume you have X,Y and B as created using meshgrid, and the line is specified by start/end node

% create dummy data
x = linspace(-10,30,200);
y = linspace(0,50,200);
[X,Y] = meshgrid(x,y);

% magnetic flux density
B = sin(X/2)+cos(Y/5);

% plot
figure, hold on
contourf(X,Y,B);

% line (start: first row, end: last row)
P0 = [5 35; 15 40];
% plot
plot(P0(:,1),P0(:,2),'ro-','LineWidth',2);

% evaluation points (parametric line with t in [0,1])
t = linspace(0,1,20);
P = P0(1,:)+bsxfun(@times,t(:),(P0(2,:)-P(1,:)));
plot(P(:,1),P(:,2),'*')

% use interp2 for interpolation
BLine = interp2(X,Y,H,P(:,1),P(:,2));

% plot field along the line
figure
plot(t,BLine);
