Hello there,
I'ma Visual C++ Engineer with a very very extensive professional R&D background going back decades; was head-hunted by Microsoft and other large companies many times; and have worked with Windows, since it's inception in the early 90s.
I specialise in C++ and Visual C++ , including the Win32 API, WIndows SDKs, MFC and also would suggest the use of OpenGL, which is incorporated in to the Windows SDKs, in recent versions of WIndows and Visual Studio.
OPenGL provides useful functions for image processing and related commonly-used algorithms/functionalities.
Nevertheless, the functional requirements for this software would , usually, make it a 2-3 month contract, working 9-5 on-site, in the UK. I should be able to deliver it within one man-month, as an approximated guesstimate.
If you feel guided to have a chat with me, I'm open to it.
Cheers
Dinesh
