Semilog plot with background image

I've modelled lines from image files and now I want to check that what I've done is correct. I want to plot the equations I came up with on top of the image files. So far, I can create two different figures, but I cannot plot both on top of one another (preferably with the image file slightly transparent). I've see a solution for non-log plots, but cannot seem to find anything that would work in my case. See below the code, as well as 'sample.png'.

yl = al + bl*log(x) + cl*log(x).^2 + dl*log(x).^3;
semilogx(x,yl,'g')

%%Plot the image
im = imread('sample.png');
figure
%define plot extent so that image can be aligned with plot
xrng = [0 100];
yrng = [0 100];
imagesc(xrng,yrng,im);
ax1 = gca;
%get rid of pixel ticklabels
set(ax1,'YTickLabel', [], 'XTickLabel', [])
%color=none to make the image visible
ax2 = axes('Position',get(ax1,'Position'),'Color','none','XScale', 'log');
ylim(yrng)
xlim(xrng)
