I took both images into photoshop. did some clean up and adjusted the levels
so the midtones where gone and made it heavy contrast

Image/Adjustments/levels

then when I was happy with it I grabbed my magic wand tool and set the tolerence at 30. I put the wand in the white area and clicked and then Select/Simlar. Then Edit/Fill and hit White. I also did the same thing with the black area's.
Then I made a Path. Path/Make Path Work and set the tolerence at 2.0
Then Export / Path to Illustrator.
