I am a proponent for HALCON from mvtec.com. Although I have to admit that I
am biased, as I have used HALCON during my thesis, its a very powerful
environment. The number of available operators ranges from simple low-level
image processing to high-level kalman filters and so on. Another prime
feature is the usage of regions instead of images. A region is an abstract
superclass of an image and can contain e.g. a list of lines, curves, objects
etc. . Obviously this not only saves space, but allows a program to combine
and interpret results more easily. The latest version has a VBA interface,
so it should be very easy to whip up a little VB program.

If I remember correctly, its essentially free for non-comercial use. check
it out @ www.mvtec.com
