Abstract—This document is able to solve given synthetic data,
mainly a curve using MATLAB. A function that can describe
characteristics of the curve, y values depending on x value along
with its specifications. The program enables to display original
image, binary or gray scale image and the re-scale image with the
dimension stated by the user. Synthetic curve data creator solves
and displays single column vector with ”n” rows of y-values.
Index Terms—MATLAB, algorithm, synthetic curve data
on original image. There are three channels on rgb image. The
first page of an rgb image is the red channel, next is green and
lastly the blue one. In the program I prefer the green channel
or second one, which makes the segmentation process easy
and to decrease the computational time [1].

I. I NTRODUCTION
Synthetic data defines a statistical data that artificially
manufactured rather than measured in real events. Consider
a given curve from a black and white image. This curve will
be converted to gray scale image, cropping the image specified
by the user and getting its data points.
II. F ORMULATION
Creating a MATLAB function that generates synthetic curve
data from a black and white image file that describes the
characteristic of the curve along with x-y values where the
data curves detect.
The program requires input image specifically png. The
imread function reads a greyscale (png) image. Tells the user
to input ’n’ numbers of data points along x-axis, maximum
and minimum of data points on y-axis.

On Fig. 2 shows the original curve data. Getting the dimen-
sions of the image, numberOfColorBands should be equals to
3. That is
[rows, columns, numberOf ColorBands] = size(rgbImage)
(1)
. This image is then convert to grayscale(rgb2gray) as we
see on Fig. 3. Note that the dimension of Fig. 2 is still the same Fig. 3. Title Image Code
 It is advantageous to specify the output image. In this I can
directly tell their differences.
Fig. 4. Input Xn, Ymax-Ymin
The program runs automatically when you click the ’run
button” Fig.3. By the str2double (Fig.1), converts the input
text into double precision values, which means str can be a
character vector, a cell or string array. It also contains text that
represents real or complex numerical values [2]
Fig. 5. Binary Image
Black and white two-dimensional image arrange in curve
pattern represents converted binary image, thus in order to
have two possible values for each pixels. Data Matrix symbol
are rectangular, usually square ”cells” which represents a bit.
Depending on a coding used, a ”light” cell represents 0 and a
”dark” cell is a 1, or vise versa. [3]
Cropping the image/data for unnecessary edges. This max-
imize the column in the matrix represents one data.

the hump is

A. Figures and Tables
TABLE1 Shows the x and y coordinates of the given
image. The points on the graph are based on the output vector
with ”n” rows of y-values. Top-down right-lef, the sequence
of the y value data. The maximum y-axis points/data in the
graph depends on input maximum value. As we set the ymax
equals 400, so the highest data points is closer to 400, that is
399, (x,y)=(285,399). The starting data points on the graph is
(1,175) and the last number is (500,234). It justify the output
figure Fig.9.
The data points is always dependent on the given measure-
ments. If the user wants to be precise or approximate its output
data.
