You can have better visualization with the combination of (Visual Studio, OpenCV) + ImageWatch plugin. This plugin allows to "see" the image buffers you have directly within the debugger.

Here is the information page about this:

I use python for Image Processing, and I think python is really a good choise. By using ipython(jupiter), it's easy for me to process image and visualize things.

Hi Hamidur,

Python usually does not get to the speed of C++ (although some libraries are optimized to a close enough speed). In any case it's very easy to try Python and see how it works for your.

An important difference between Python and Matlab is that the quality (performance, aesthetics, memory management, etc.) will depend a lot on the libraries you are using (as for Matlab the system is closed for the visualization functions of Matlab itself).

That being said, check the following links for some Image Processing libraries in Python:

1) scikit-image: http://scikit-image.org/

2) OpenCV: http://opencv-python-tutroals.readthedocs.org/en/latest/index.html

3) ImageMagic: http://www.imagemagick.org/script/api.php#python

4) Pillow: https://pillow.readthedocs.org/en/3.0.x/index.html

5) Mahotas: http://mahotas.readthedocs.org/en/latest/

As for visualization take a look into:

a) matplotlib: http://matplotlib.org/

b) chaco: http://code.enthought.com/projects/chaco/

c) Galry: https://github.com/rossant/galry

d) Vispy: http://vispy.org/

e) VTK: http://www.vtk.org/

f) Mayavi: http://code.enthought.com/projects/mayavi/

There are others but most of the above have galleries and cookbook examples for you to see if it fits you.

Best of luck.

Thank you very much Bruno Martin for the link.  Thanks Kaisheng xu  for the information.

Its really good job Pedro Correia. Those links and suggestions will really help me a lot. Thank you very very much.
