I am trying to use OpenCV with ignition, I have followed some instructions online to add the jar file to the local maven repository. The two issues that I am having are that eclipse does not allow me to import the opencv classes and System.load does not seem to be working to load in the opencv\_java460.dll file. Any insights into this would be great, thanks. ---

There are many hurdles to using OpenCV in Ignition, including the fact that its license is incompatible with inclusion in a module file. Consider using my [Image Streamer module](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/automation-professionals-image-streamer-driver-module/29371/62), which works around that, and other issues, to load OpenCV classes and constants from its jar into Ignition’s scripting scope.
