From what I can figure out, you need to supply points on the left in a range of 0 to 1 representing your chosen images edge length for example: the middle point of your image is point (0.5,0.5,0). This is still the case if the aspect ratio of the image is not 1.

The output of this (by default) is the RGB colour values at the supplied point.

You can drag+drop an image file directly onto the Grasshopper canvas to instantiate a new Image Sampler. Or you can drag it from the toolbar, then double click the control to open up the options.

You can adjust the physical range of the image, and also the output types (colour, red, green, blue, alpha, hue, saturation, brightness).

Double click on the ImageSampler icon in the toolbar to display the help-topic for this object.

Here's an example of a simple nurbs heightfield using the image sampler component:

The image sampler is set to ouput the brightness values and clamped, the rest is set to its default values. The input surface is reparametrized.

If you divide a segment in 200 parts, you end up with 201 points. Add "u+1" into the expression editor of the U input.

Add a multiply component between the image and the vector amplitude component. The image should output a number between 0 and 1 so the other number being multiplied should be the maximum desired height of the transformation.
