A good computer engineer should be able to construct software such that you input a picture in one end and out the other end drops a ascii art match of that picture. Such a thing would be useful for storage space in that ascii would take up less storage. I would not be surprized that some computer engineer has already devised such a program. Sort of like a ascii photocopier where you put a photo in and out comes a ascii art picture.
