The 'best' one is the one you find easiest to work with. But you need to make your own decision.

Don't know about MATLAB, but PYTHON can be slow, seems to be easy to learn and use however. To me speed is an important factor in image processing, so I would go for a more low-level language like C or C++.

To make your decision even harder, here is an other option: https://processing.org/
This is a JAVA based environment aimed at image processing.

Solution 1

Using MATLAB is good since it got too many great features to work with image processing.
So if you are comfortable with MATLAB, it is a good choice.

Also C++ is fast when working with image processing.

Ziad imad.. I came to know that Matlab is best one if you are desirous to work with research based work.But for job seeker in the industry of image processing, the Python is best one. What you say?

Afzaal Ahmad Zeeshan 30-Jul-17 10:23am

Ziad, the tool is MATLAB not MATLAP. Secondly, which C++ are you talking about? C++ does not contain anything about image processing; just array manipulation etc. Perhaps, you wanted to mention OpenCV, etc. :-)

Solution 2

Matlab has a disadvantage: it's not free.
So if you would like to go the open source way I would recommend C++ (for speed) in combination with the OpenCV library: OpenCV library[^]

Rick, you may add — "OpenCV also offers you to use it in commercial software as well". :-)

OpenCV free for commercial usage

Ah, happy, happy, joy, joy !

There's also GNU Octave which is a free, open source, Matlab clone (very close). It has many free libraries on Octave Forge

Finally some light in this dark matter !
