Software algorithm for automated digitalization of load curves

AIM: This work aimed to describe an algorithm for empirical processing of load curves allowing to convert graphic files to data arrays suitable for further processing. METHODS: The presented algorithm can be implemented in any high-level programming language, provided that there are pixel analysis capabilities for graphics. The paper uses the C# programming language. RESULTS: We developed a console application for the .NET 9.0 platform with the required parameters that was used to process more than 250 load curves. CONCLUSION: The algorithm presented in the paper can be used to process a wide class of similar images with appropriate adjustments.
