Since ROS Electric, the stand-alone opencv library is treated as a system dependency, installed like any other library for your Linux distribution. (You didn't say which one you are using.)So, yes you can use opencv without ROS. But, you will not be able to use the opencv_bridge interface without ROS.

Thank you for your answer!! I am using Fuerte distribution under Linux 12.04 and I am using Qt for development environment.
