Velocity is a templating language and as such only works with strings.
I believe to handle images, you need to have the HTML tag
<IMG ...>
Within this HTML, you can use Velocity to build the string reference
to the image. For example,
<IMG SRC="${baseurl}/images/myimage.gif">
Otherwise, you could create a servlet that takes some information,
gets the binary data and serves up the image. Velocity could help to
build the URL reference. For example:
<IMG SRC="${imageHandlerURL}&user=$userid">
If this is not a web application, then this won't work, but might give
you some ideas.
Velocity itself changes every reference to a String as it parses, so
passing binary data to Velocity for interpreation will not be useful.
