Have you tried using vectormagic.com or using the autotracing tool in a vector app? Inkscape is free if one of the commercial apps isn't an option. Autotracing works surprisingly well.

Vector Magic (www.vectormagic.com) should deal with that quite well.

Where did you get the pic? It looks like it originates from vector art already. Just try to get hold of those files.

Took just a few minutes in Illustrator. The .ai file is too big to attach so PM your email address and I'll send it. Here is a pdf and eps file.
