Raster-to-Vector & Vector-to-Raster
Moving from vector to raster is not that difficult. A line or polygon is simply given a pixel value. The opposite is not true though.

Once in a GIS, the raster image can be converted to a vector format through a "raster-to-vector" conversion. The third hardware component is the printer/plotter. These devices are used to produce a hardcopy map.
Automatic digitization, through the use of a scanner is a very popular approach for capturing data. Raster data can subsequently be transformed into vector data in most turn-key GIS packages, through the use of raster-to-vector conversion algorithms.
