[R] Best Package to Extract Numbers from this Image?

[steven mosher]

 You can probably use  the package jpg , It will be a pain.  You will
have to read it in as a jpg
 then isolate the numbers ( by row and column ) then figure out some
way ( probably not that hard)
 to identify the numbers
 from the bit pattern.  I tried something similar with the png
package. it was not elegant
