There are some good Image Processing courses out there: have a look at 

	http://eeunix.ee.usm.maine.edu/ee/faculty/mjkcc/docs/ele489/489.html

by Mariusz Jankowski.

One possibility is to simply paste the graphic into Mathematica and then
do a Convert To InputForm.  This will digitize the image into a
RasterArray.
