The advantages of MATLAB over other

programing languages
 A very large (and growing) database of built-in algorithms for image processing and computer vision
applications
 MATLAB allows you to test algorithms immediately without recompilation. You can type something at the
command line or execute a section in the editor and immediately see the results, greatly facilitating
algorithm development.
 The MATLAB Desktop environment, which allows you to work interactively with your data, helps you to
keep track of files and variables, and simplifies common programming/debugging tasks
 The ability to read in a wide variety of both common and domain-specific image formats.
 The ability to call external libraries, such as OpenCV
 Clearly written documentation with many examples, as well as online resources such as web seminars
("webinars").
 Bi-annual updates with new algorithms, features, and performance enhancements
 If you are already using MATLAB for other purposes, such as simulation, optimation, statistics, or data
analysis, then there is a very quick learning curve for using it in image processing.
 The ability to process both still images and video.
 Technical support from a well-staffed, professional organization (assuming your maintenance is up-to-date)
 A large user community with lots of free code and knowledge sharing
 The ability to auto-generate C code, using MATLAB Coder, for a large (and growing) subset of image
processing and mathematical functions, which you could then use in other environments, such as
embedded systems or as a component in other software.
