Because there's a lot of context loaded by Rails for those helper methods to work, you can't just include ActionView::Helpers::AssetTagHelper as you've done. Instead call the helper on the helper object in the rails console:
[1] pry(main)> helper.image_tag("foo.jpg")
=> "<img src=\"/assets/foo-04024382391bb910584145d8113cf35ef376b55d125bb4516cebeb14ce788597.jpg\" />"
