In the December 1990 issue of IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and
Machine Intelligence is an article describing a technique for converting
(possibly noisy) bitmapped images to PostScript.

@article{
         author="Carlos A. Cabrelli and Ursula M. Molter",
         title="Automatic Representation of Binary Images",
         journal="IEEE PAMI",
         month="December",
         year="1990", 
         volume="12",
         number="12",
         pages="1190--1196"}

It's readable and illustrates some of the difficulties in reversing
the scan conversion process.
