I'm not sure what you want to do, but you can find out the color of a
pigment (including image_maps) in POV-Ray using the eval_pigment() macro
from functions.inc.  If you want to write image data from inside a
POV-Script you can use an ASCII based file format like PGM/PBM and the
#write function.

If this is not what you meant please clarify your question.
