Hello,
i’ve been using the Nvidia Jetson for a while now, and i will have access to program on a NUC soon, but the NUC does not have Nvidia GPU, but rather Intel iGPU and i was wondering if it is possible using and running Opencv on that, my main program does not use cuda but uses many cv2. commands.
Would appreciate any insight on the matter

yes, that’s fine. OpenCV uses OpenCL for a lot of things.
you only need to make sure to wrap arrays/Mats in `UMat` objects.
