Quick outline of a possible approach: you can use the Finder or do
shell script "find" to get a list of full image pathnames, use text
item delimeters to split the pathnames into a list of components,
pluck out the components you want, and put them back together with a
different delimiter in place of the path separator (e.g. _)...
