I am trying to figure out what would be the best programming language/package for image processing. The task is to digitize old well logs (see here) and I want to make sure that I will have no limitations later on during more complicated stages of software development. These kinds of logs can be sometimes very low quality, so I don't want to be relying on a limited series of tools which may disappoint me at some point. I was told that OpenCV can be a good tool but I just wanted to make sure that I can use it for my purposes.

do us a favour, and try to describe, what kind of information you want to extract here.

These two black lines are the tool readings that are recorded with respect to their axes. Therefore, it is basically like a plot of Y vs X and all I want to do is to read this data and convert them to numbers (this is what we call digitizing logs in petroleum industry). Since these logs are very old, they were only recorded on paper and now we have to find a way to read them automatically, because there are many of them. @berak

OpenCV is indeed the most complete computer vision library I am aware of with typically fast processing. The main programming language is C++. However, most of its functions are wrapped and thus available for Python and Java. There have been also attempts to for Matlab wrappers but I don't know how far they are developed in OpenCV 3.0.

Thanks @Guanta. My important concern is that I want to know if it is only used for for processing videos (like I have seen on YouTube tutorials), or it can actually be a good tool for processing images as well.

Of course you can process images with it! (I've never used it for video content).
