This is what UnicodePlots does (quick & dirty example):

 ![UnicodePlots_REPL](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/julialang/original/3X/5/2/52a8dba17acfbb67a09338752b3a06c3935a511a.png)

```julia
using UnicodePlots, Images
img = Gray.(rand(600,600))
imgc = gray.(img)
UnicodePlots.heatmap(imgc)

```

And there is the cool package by @ianshmean, [VideoInTerminal.jl](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/seven-lines-of-julia-examples-sought/50416/98) that outputs the video camera image stream to the REPL!
