This is the approach also used by Bitsticker. It is certainly not optimal.

Tim Gould’s img2sticker script uses a different strategy; you may want to give it a try. It does edge detection and then triangulates surfaces to fill the uniform areas. I’m not sure if that’s appropriate for official parts, either, but it should generate smaller files than these raster techniques.
