Not really a FOP question, is it? :-)

You should look into the EPS and DSC specifications from Adobe. They are
available here:
http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/ps/index_specs.html

Anyway, generally it's not easily possible to extract bitmap images from
PostScript files, except if you mean the optional preview of an EPS file
which is documented in the EPS spec. There's no single way to represent
a bitmap image in PostScript, so you can't reliably extract a bitmap
image from a PostScript file without having a PostScript interpreter. It
depends a lot on how the PostScript was generated in the first place.
FOP, for example, doesn't use the %%BeginBinary DSC comment for images.
It's probably easier to convert the EPS to PDF and then extract the
image from the PDF using some PDF library.
