Yes, you can replace "picture" with "imagine" in this scenario. These words are synonyms and mean to form a mental concept or image in your mind. Ex: Imagine warm gooey cookies, crunchy candies, velvety cakes, waffle cones piled high with ice cream. Ex: Picture a world without crime. How wonderful that would be! = Imagine a world without crime. How wonderful that would be!
