sane-frontends contains applications for SANE (Scanner Access Now Easy).
This package provides the graphical frontends xscanimage and xcam. Both
use the GTK+ toolkit. xscanimage is used for scanners, xcam for cameras.
xscanimage can also be used as gimp plugin. The package also provides
the command-line frontend scanadf which is based on scanimage and is
intended for scanners that use automatic document feeders.

potrace is a utility for tracing a bitmap, which means, transforming a
bitmap into a smooth, scalable image. The input is a bitmap (PBM, PGM,
PPM, or BMP format), and the default output is an encapsulated
PostScript file (EPS). A typical use is to create EPS files from scanned
data, such as company or university logos, handwritten notes, etc. The
resulting image is not "jaggy" like a bitmap, but smooth. It can then be
rendered at any resolution.

SANE stands for "Scanner Access Now Easy" and is an application
programming interface (API) that provides standardized access to any
raster image scanner hardware (flatbed scanner, hand-held scanner,
video- and still-cameras, frame-grabbers, etc.).
