that error is purely C#, with no immediate relation to OpenCV or any of its third party wrappers for C#

I might be the only C# Open CV developer around here but the error seems to be that the constructors for the type Image<Bgr, byte> do not have an argument for a Bitmap. Try a string or youcan make the method return a Mat object

using Emgu.CV;
using Emgu.CV.CvEnum;

private Mat ArrayToMat(byte[] byteArray)
{
    Mat mat = new Mat(1, byteArray.Length, DepthType.Cv8U, 1);
    mat.SetTo<byte>(byteArray);
    return mat;
}
