Yes, but this isn't usually done. More often, resources will be placed in /usr/share/<application> and accessed via normal filesystem functions.

the question ask "extract", not embed – J-16 SDiZ Apr 02 '12 at 03:37
@J-16: The accepted answer shows how to extract. But extracting is pointless without embedding regardless. – Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams Apr 02 '12 at 03:39

My understanding is, the OP have some proprietary program with some image embedded. Without knowing how they did it, he wants to extract them out. – J-16 SDiZ Apr 02 '12 at 03:45
