You are right, I do not exactly understand the concept of pixels and so on. Before I understand what an image is, I need to uderstand the PDF 'Langauge' first.
I have taken an image, and printed that to PDF using a writer. I then opened the file in Notepad, and copied the image's objects. What I do then, is to add these objects into my script. As you see, I am grasping at straws, but I reckon that one of them might just hold.:o))

One way that I tried to read a BMP image is by opening the file and reading the binary output, and then converting the binary values to hexadecimal values.
