I want to write a program that processes images. If there are good algorithm libraries in object extraction that would save me a lot of work. anybody? are there any good libraries in image processing? I am willing to use c++ or c# whatever has good libraries. Thanks

Try out OpenCV.

This depends on your focus in image processing.

If your focus is image processing on digital camera images, I would suggest using OpenCV (as already mentioned by @ffriend). If your focus is image processing on radiological images (MRI, CT, etc.) I would suggest using ITK for the processing algortihms and VTK for rendering.

All those libraries are written in C++. Some have interfaces to scripting languages like python.

Hope this helps for a start!
