Noam Lewis's HOpenCV package on hackage
<http://hackage.haskell.org/package/HOpenCV> is a great way to get
started using OpenCV for image processing.

My own fork of this project <http://github.com/acowley/HOpenCV> adds
static checking of color and pixel depth, more OpenCV functionality,
and interoperation with Data.Vector.Storable. However, it should
definitely be classified as experimental as I'm still exploring how I
want things to work. I am using it for real-time video processing in
an active research project, though, so it is getting regularly
exercised. An example program included in the repository is,

> import AI.CV.OpenCV.HighCV

> main = toFile "closed.png" . erode 8 . dilate 8 =<< fromFileGray "input.png"

I've made some effort to provide reasonable haddock documentation, so
I recommend building that (cabal haddock) and consulting it to find
your way around.

As I mentioned, it is all still very rough, but feel free to give it a
try if it seems to do what you need. If you're looking to start your
own effort from scratch, I think Data.Vector.Storable is nice way to
mix Haskell and C.
