JavaCV IplImage.createFrom hangs in place

Question

Not sure why this is happening. The method :

IplImage.createFrom(image);

Is hanging without returning any value. I've tried multiple images, and confirmed their existence. I'm writing an application that harnesses template matching, however this initial step is giving me a headache. Does anyone know why this method would suspend the thread and not return any value? I've done some research, and confirmed my OpenCV path is set up, and that all my libraries are properly setup.

Before converting a BufferedImage to iplimage we need to create an iplimage which has same height and width as the BufferedImage. Try this code:

IplImage ipl_image = IplImage.create(buffered_image.getWidth(),buffered_.getHeight(),IPL_DEPTH_8U,1);
ipl_image = IplImage.createFrom(buffered_image);
