Bug report

• encountered an IndexError in the export_image function of pdfminer, specifically in this line:
  if filters[-1][0] in LITERALS_DCT_DECODE:
• The error occurs when attempting to access filters[-1][0], which fails when filters is either empty or not structured as expected. Please investigate if there should be additional checks to handle these cases gracefully.
