Hi all: I spent a lot of time trying to find the best way to get Vimba and OpenCV to play together - here's what I have.

Crux of the issue:

 FramePtr pFrame;
VmbUchar_t *pImage = Null;
VmbUint32_t timeout = 500;
VmbUint43_t nWidth = 0;
VmbUint43_t nHeight = 0;
 if (VmbErrorSuccess == cameras[ 0 ]->Camera::AcquireSingleImage( pFrame, timeout ) ) {
 if (VmbErrorSuccess != pFrame->getWidth( nWidth );
std::cout << "FAILED to aquire width of frame!" << std::endl;
 if (VmbErrorSuccess != pFrame->getWidth( nHeight );
std::cout << "FAILED to aquire height of frame!" << std::endl;
 if (VmbErrorSuccess != pFrame->getImage( pImage );
std::cout << "FAILED to acquire image data of frame!" << std::endl;
 cv::Mat cvMat = cv::Mat(nHeight, nWidth, CV_8UC1, pImage );
cv::cvtColor(cvMat, cvMat, CV_BayerBG2RGB);
// My camera is set up to publish BayerBG. It's an efficient codec.
 cv::imshow("Our Great Window", cvMat);
cv::waitKey(1);
}

I have also attached more of my program (~200 lines) if you want to see how I also find my cameras, open them, and store that information.

Good luck.

Good luck to all of you!
