Do you mean generate a height_field object from an image, or generate 
the actual image in POV-Ray? The object syntax is documented under 
section "2.4.3 Height Field Object" in the manual, along with a way to 
generate the height field image with POV-Ray. Just follow the tutorial, 
sample code is given.
