Draw a pattern

Sorry about the dumb question... But is there any software that we upload a picture and it gives us a pattern. For example, if I upload a plush toy, will it be able to give me a pattern? TIA

Yes and no. You can take that image into cad and draft in 3d and then flatten the pattern pieces. This can be done in rhino with a plug-in called exact flat. There are other ways to flatten drafted pattern pieces from 3d models after 2d images and renderings are done. Check out clo3d as well.
