You can you publish the image base64 encoded instead, you could use a data URI to display it. See [Perspective: Base64 Image into Table - #7 by SR\_Solar](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/perspective-base64-image-into-table/62684/7) or some other related topics by searching.

Otherwise you'll probably have to do some scripting to handle the incoming data. The "encoding" in your screenshot looks more like the string representation of some binary data rather than binary data.
