MATLAB seems to be a nice solu

Answer 1

1. Python/OpenCV: you could use the native solution to acquire images from your video device. With OpenCV you can even do real-time image processing.
2. matlab_wrapper: assuming that you have a MATLAB function (not script) that accepts some parameter and returns image array, e.g. [img] = get_image(some_parameter), you could write something like this:

matlab = matlab_wrapper.MatlabSession()
img = matlab.workspace.get_image(some_parameter)
