If I'm understanding you correctly, CorelTrace can do this. It can
create a vector tracing of the lines of a black and white image. Save
the result as an .ai file, then in Carrara create a Spline object and
import into it the .ai file. Then convert the Spline object into a
Vertex object. The resulting object is an extrusion because the
Spline modeler made it that way, so select the lines at one end and
cut them (deleting them in C5 won't work). Now you'll have to weld
vertices together (because some of the lines will not be joined) to
make closed polylines and then fill them.
