I have completed quite some courses so far on building websites (mainly php). Now I want to do more with image processing, building algorithms and including existing ones to recognize particular patterns in images. I'm very serious about this and hope to make this my PHD, so i'm also very serious about setting up the right environment for myself and learning the 'right' language.
I'm thinking Python might be a solid choice, also since I have some experience with it and since it has a large community. I also heard it has an image processing library but don't know how to implement this. On the other hand, maybe some other languages might be better suited to my desires. Oh, and knowing what programs to install would be great.
In time I hope to implement neural networks as well, so I expect calculations to be BIG. Maybe therefore a program like MatLab might be better for me. So that's my main question: given a complex machine learning algorithm, what language+environment should I choose?
