Terry,
You might try tnimage a shareware (dos based) image analysis package
that is very good and has a scripting language that will let you do what
you want. Another package that is Win95 based is imagetool again with a
scripting language that will do what you want. Imagetool is freeware (I
believe). There is also a PC version of NIH Image (Scion image) that can
do it.
I am assuming however that you are using background substraction or edge
detection to define your closed areas and then summing those areas to
get your final result. You might also consider that if you have a tool
that does what you want, why change it.
Numerous image processing packages that can do what you want and much
more are also available under Linux and and both they and Linux are free
