Hi Michael,

Thanks! for your input. I tried what you suggested as below:

//---------------------------------------------------------------
#include <gst/gst.h>
#include <opencv2/opencv.hpp>
#include <opencv2/highgui.hpp>
#include <opencv2/imgproc/imgproc.hpp>

static GMainLoop *loop;

static void
cb_need_data(GstElement *appsrc,
guint       unused_size,
gpointer    user_data)
{
static GstClockTime timestamp = 0;
GstBuffer *buffer;
guint size, depth, height, width, step, channels;
GstFlowReturn ret;
guchar *data1;
GstMapInfo map;

cv::Mat img2;
cv::Mat img = cv::imread("C:/Users/212730892.LOGON/Desktop/lena.jpg");
cv::cvtColor(img, img2, cv::COLOR_BGR2RGB);

height = img.size().height;
width = img.size().width;
//step = img.widthStep;
channels = img.channels();
//depth = img->depth;
data1 = (guchar *)img.data;
size = height * width * channels * sizeof(guchar);

std::cout << "cb_need_data called" << std::endl;

buffer = gst_buffer_new_wrapped(img2.data, img2.total() * img2.elemSize());

GstMapInfo info;
gst_buffer_map(buffer, &info, GST_MAP_READ);
cv::Mat mat(height, width, CV_8UC3, info.data);
cv::imshow("Output", mat);
//gst_buffer_unmap(buffer, &info);

GST_BUFFER_PTS(buffer) = timestamp;
GST_BUFFER_DURATION(buffer) = gst_util_uint64_scale_int(1, GST_SECOND, 2);

timestamp += GST_BUFFER_DURATION(buffer);

g_signal_emit_by_name(appsrc, "push-buffer", buffer, &ret);
//gst_buffer_unref(buffer);

if (ret != GST_FLOW_OK) {
/* something wrong, stop pushing */
g_main_loop_quit(loop);
}
}

gint
main(gint   argc,
gchar *argv[])
{
GstElement *pipeline, *appsrc, *conv, *videosink;

/* init GStreamer */
gst_init(&argc, &argv);
loop = g_main_loop_new(NULL, FALSE);

/* setup pipeline */
pipeline = gst_pipeline_new("pipeline");
appsrc = gst_element_factory_make("appsrc", "source");
conv = gst_element_factory_make("videoconvert", "conv");
videosink = gst_element_factory_make("autovideosink", "videosink");

/* setup */
g_object_set(G_OBJECT(appsrc), "caps",
gst_caps_new_simple("video/x-raw",
"format", G_TYPE_STRING, "RGB",
"width", G_TYPE_INT, 134,
"height", G_TYPE_INT, 134,
"framerate", GST_TYPE_FRACTION, 1, 1,
NULL), NULL);
gst_bin_add_many(GST_BIN(pipeline), appsrc, conv, videosink, NULL);
gst_element_link_many(appsrc, conv, videosink, NULL);
//g_object_set (videosink, "device", "/dev/video0", NULL);
/* setup appsrc */
g_object_set(G_OBJECT(appsrc),
"stream-type", 0,
"format", GST_FORMAT_TIME, NULL);
g_signal_connect(appsrc, "need-data", G_CALLBACK(cb_need_data), NULL);

/* play */
gst_element_set_state(pipeline, GST_STATE_PLAYING);
g_main_loop_run(loop);

if (gst_element_set_state(pipeline, GST_STATE_NULL) ==
GST_STATE_CHANGE_FAILURE)
{
g_printerr("Unable to set the pipeline to the playing state.\n");
}

// Free resources
gst_object_unref(GST_OBJECT(pipeline));
g_main_loop_unref(loop);

return 0;
}
//----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It still does not work as expected. It would be a great help if you could
point out where I am going wrong.
Thanks!!
