If this is your object:

field_image (Object) stdClass 
  handler (Object) views_handler_field_field 
    view (Object) view 
      result (Array, 2 elements) 
        0 (Object) stdClass 
          _field_data (Array, 1 element) 
            nid (Array, 2 elements) 
              entity (Object) stdClass
                field_image (Array, 1 element) 
                  und (Array, 1 element)
                    0 (Array, 11 elements)                                      
                      filename (String, 23 characters ) FILENAME.jpg

I'd guess you can find it using:

field_image->handler->view->result[0]->_field_data['nid'][entity]->field_image['und'][0]['filename]

Could be a mistake in there, but the general Idea is: if you have an object, get the variable using ->, and if you have an array, use [key].
