Description

Hmm. I thought this was going to be simpler. Then I would suggest, we open a new issue to strip the OpenCV dependency out of this tutorial and abandon this PR for now. Hopefully the ImageViewer can act as replacement. I do have to say that in some of my early PCL experiments, I never managed to get it working 😅 .

Research direction

Locate the Ensenso tutorial and review the abandoned pull request referenced in the issue for its current OpenCV usage. Investigate whether ImageViewer can replace that dependency; done means the tutorial no longer requires OpenCV and its documented workflow still works.
