This is somewhere between a PhD and a patented solution problem. Either way,
it's none of dia's business (dia can reload from several vector formats, and
the place of such a bitmap vectorising effort is in a standalone tool, to be
perhaps integrated as a plugin once it works. It would be a total waste of
effort to develop a dia-only automatic vectorising capability).

Euh... You mean, once you've vectorised an image, you want to export it back
to a raster format ? And then, what do you do next: vectorise again ? 

Anyway, dia has working bitmap export, it's not even deeply buried in the
menus...
