Agreed on Matlab for such applications, it is imho the most polished and
intuitive of the lot, up and running in a couple of hours, no maintenance
required. And if it is for personal use (not commercial or academic) I
find the Matlab Home permanent license with the image processing toolbox at
less than $200 the deal of the century.

A mathematician's opinion:
scilab, or matlab, or octave are made precisely for jobs like this.
You will need MUCH less time with them than with a low-level language
like C or C++.
My choice would be scilab (free) or matlab (commercial, and not cheep
with professional license)
There is a variant of scilab named nsp (free also):
http://cermics.enpc.fr/~jpc/nsp-tiddly/mine.html
which has a more basic user interface (a bit like octave) but in some
cases it is much faster. (somme of the original developpers of scilab
made secession when the scilab team adopted a java user-interface)
good luck !
