For all these questions (involving SIP/SWIG/BPL/...), remember that they're all based on the common Python/C API. Thus, each of these wrapping libraries have means to convert from/to python, i.e. wrapping a C++ object pointer into a (PyObject *) and vice versa. One just needs to know how this is done with each of the above, and depending on the lifetime management. Additionally, you should *not* "declare those classes in Boost.Python" again, i.e. using class_<...>. (That would lead to incompatible wrappers.) Instead, you *may* define a manual converter to make your life easier, i.e. let boost::python wrap your functions and automatically call SWIGs wrap/unwrap functions for the corresponding OpenCV classes. (The alternative is to declare your functions with (PyObject *) pointers and manually call these SWIG functions, which is probably easier if you have just one or two functions to wrap.)
