Preferred citation
According to the OpenCV github repository, the preferred way how to cite the OpenCV is:
Citation in APA style
Citation in Vancouver style
Citation in Harvard style
Citation in Bibtex format
author = {Bradski, G.},
citeulike-article-id = {2236121},
journal = {Dr. Dobb's Journal of Software Tools},
keywords = {bibtex-import},
posted-at = {2008-01-15 19:21:54},

Citation in APA style
Citation in Vancouver style
Citation in Harvard style
Citation in Bibtex format
title={Open Source Computer Vision Library},
author={OpenCV},
year={2015},
}
title={Open Source Computer Vision Library},
author={OpenCV},
year={2015},
}

Reference manual
Another option is cite the OpenCV reference manual. The reference manuals can be found at - https://docs.opencv.org/. For example the citation of edition 2.4.13.7:

Referencing standard textbook
In some context, the standard well known book about OpenCV could even be the option how to cite it:
Citation in APA style
Citation in Vancouver style
Citation in Harvard style
Citation in Bibtex format
title={Learning OpenCV: Computer vision with the OpenCV library},
author={Bradski, Gary and Kaehler, Adrian},
year={2008},
