The image of the Buddha represents the first of the three jewels, Buddha or the enlightened mind. Buddhist venerate images of Buddha because to them in their minds it represents the Living Buddha, because people do not posses the Karma to see a Buddha they believe instead that the image is that of Buddha. It is almost like paying memorial to a lost one by lighting a candle or putting some flowers down in front of their image or grave. It has got nothing to do with idolisation or worship.

First off, Buddhists do no worship The Buddha, we revere him for bringing us the Dharma. For Buddhists, The Buddha represents the goal of what we are striving for, enlightenment, where we see the world as it actually is without preconceptions or judgements.
