Translate the color data to a 2D array of floats, where 0 = lowest point and 1 = highest point, and use that in TerrainData.SetHeights(). See also HeightmapFromTexture.

I know how to translate color data in other programs like matlab but I don't know how to import that data into unity? Or is there a way I can do the image to data translation within unity?
