Problem with IPL image and imshow

Hi I want to show an IPL image created but with imshow I am having problems, I was searching how to solve that error but I didn't find anything.... so if someone could help me I would be very please. I am in a raspberry pi, using opencv 3.0.0 I know is better use Mat know but I didnt know hot to convert an Image captured by other API to a Mat object and not and IPL
