Is octave good to do image processing?

Wow!!

   Looks like the search ends here.

   Jim, will there be any speed or memory limitations now that
   opencv is integrated with octave? will i be ale to do reasonable
   amount of image processing?

   Second question what is difference between .oct and .mex 
   which one is prefferd and why?

   Thanks once again for all the help.

Regards
Bharat
