Note that, instead, the image of a standard rational map is the defining ideal of the image (this is done mainly for efficiency reasons).

Alternatively, the calculation can be performed using the Segre embedding as follows:
i7 : time Z' = projectiveVariety (map segre target Phi) image(segre Phi,"F4");
