I have an answer, but it may not be the one you are looking for. I have been able to do something like what you are talking about in Adobe Photoshop. One of its features allows you to take an image (photo) and find all of the outlines. The tool is a little tricky, though, since the process usually leaves a LOT of outlines; more than a coloring book would have. The other alternative that I can think of is a little time consuming but it does work and you can do this in Photoshop or in Microsoft Paint (which is included with most PCs). Photoshop has a magic wand that you can use to select a color, then add a border to. Next, you would select the color, again, and delete it; leaving a white area inside the new border. Paint can do something like this, but you have to "lasso" all of the one area that you want to have made white, then delete the color. You also have to manually draw the borders. Not as easy to use as PS and certainly takes a lot more time.
