Which language is best suited for image processing ?

Question

I have been using MATLAB for this purpose in my college days. Currently I am learning python. Interested to know if any one has to share some thoughts on this

Answer 1

Image processing is a very low level execution that requires precise memory management, consistency and security.
If you want to have effective image processing then you need C or highest C++
The duo provide the lowest control to you for doing such tasks. You can use Python because of its many libraries.

But i wud prefer C

Answer 2

Python can handle image processing pretty easily. Modules such as numpy make this almost effortless. Heck, this was demonstrated in one of my lectures within 10 minutes. A few lines of code and you can easily identify patterns, and manipulate them (outline a specific object in an image for example).

I can't speak for other languages on their effectiveness, but I can tell you first hand that Python is more than capable of handling the job with ease.

Thanks guys.. Lemme try numpy
