Fill empty areas ?
This is scan from my photo using http://www.autotracer.org/, 256 colors, background removed.

A solution would be to run another tracing with one scan and use that as a backdrop to the current result.

Thanks for tip.
Re: Fill empty areas ?
If each piece is a independent object (or you manage to get them into separate objects) and assuming all objects is within one layer, my suggestion is as follows:
- Make a new layer. The new layer should be below.
- Duplicate all objects and move the duplicates to new bottom layer.
- Hide top layer.
- Select all objects that you want to fill out the blenks between, Select
(Important thing before using is to actually select those objects you want to be affected) - Set tool mode to "Shrink objects, with Shift enlarge"
- Enlarge the objects of choice
- View top layer.

Re: Fill empty areas ?
Another solution, that worked very well for me came from Ragnar.
To get rid of the white stroke do as follows;
Select all objects; CTRL + A
Ungroup; SHIFT + CTRL + G (do this several time until there are no more groups. Check the status line at the bottom of the main Inkscape window)
Duplicate all objects; CTRL + D
Change all selected objects to paths; SHIFT + CTRL + C
