            REQUIREMENTS ON pixel_type
                pixel_type just needs to be something that matches the pixel memory
                layout of whatever open cv image you are going to use this object
                with.  For example, you might use unsigned char or bgr_pixel depending
                on what you needed.

            WHAT THIS OBJECT REPRESENTS
                This object is meant to be used as a simple wrapper around the OpenCV
                IplImage struct.  Using this class template you can turn an IplImage
                object into something that looks like a normal dlib style image object.

                So you should be able to use cv_image objects with many of the image
                processing functions in dlib as well as the GUI tools for displaying
                images on the screen.
