I hate to be "one of those guys" but I will say that I've routinely written similar applications in Java. Usually just one-offs because they are so easy. Depending on the types of images your are reading and writing it can be quite trivial. Though, if you don't know Java that well I suppose you might break even with trying to figure out how to get OSG+OpenGL to do this for you versus learning the Java needed.
