Conversion of cv::Mat to GstBuffer

It looks like img2, being a local variable, ends its life when “cb_need_data” ends. That leaves the pointer in “buffer” invalid. For this one you’re better off with the copy.
Another option is to alloc img2 on the heap, and use gst_buffer_new_wrapped_full to carry img2 along with buffer and free then together.
