Of course. However that's just reducing the colour depth, not
straightening the edges. An edge detection filter can be useful for
that,although it will change the proportions a little. Best of all
(complicated, but allows editing afterwards) is to import the bitmap
into an SVG editor like Inkscape and then convert it all to line
segments.
