Well, that's not exactly IDL, but it's free .-)

I already guessed the answer to my questions should lie in some Image
Processing books. Looking at some of the links on the Gonzalez's DIP
book page I have found the tool titled CVIPTools (http://
www.ee.siue.edu/CVIPtools/) might be worth to check.

I would appreciate if you provide those IDL routines, as well.

At the risk of telling you what you already know, looking at your
examples it seems it might be good to use Hu's invariant moments (see
e.g. Digital Image Processing, Gonzalez and Woods, 2002). They are
translation- rotation- and scale-invariant and should discriminate
spheres, needles, irregular shapes etc. Maybe use them to train a neural
network? I've played around with them a bit and can give you an IDL
function that calculates them.
