Python openCV: kmeans example not working

Question

I am working my way through the openCV examples and sometimes the examples won't run. In many cases I just have to make small changes and it works then. In this case I found no solution so far. If I run the following code I get an error on the kmeans line. I checked the data types and it seems everything is alright. Anyone an idea what is going wrong? Thanks!

Code example from https://github.com/Itseez/opencv:

'''
Keyboard shortcuts:
    ESC   - exit
    space - generate new distribution
'''

import numpy as np
import cv2
from gaussian_mix import make_gaussians

if __name__ == '__main__':
    cluster_n = 5
    img_size = 512

    print __doc__

    # generating bright palette
    colors = np.zeros((1, cluster_n, 3), np.uint8)
    colors[0,:] = 255
    colors[0,:,0] = np.arange(0, 180, 180.0/cluster_n)
    colors = cv2.cvtColor(colors, cv2.COLOR_HSV2BGR)[0]

    while True:
        print 'sampling distributions...'
        points, _ = make_gaussians(cluster_n, img_size)

        term_crit = (cv2.TERM_CRITERIA_EPS, 30, 0.1)

        ret, labels, centers = cv2.kmeans(points, cluster_n, None, term_crit, 10, 0)

        img = np.zeros((img_size, img_size, 3), np.uint8)
        for (x, y), label in zip(np.int32(points), labels.ravel()):
            c = map(int, colors[label])
            cv2.circle(img, (x, y), 1, c, -1)

        cv2.imshow('gaussian mixture', img)
        ch = 0xFF & cv2.waitKey(0)
        if ch == 27:
            break
    cv2.destroyAllWindows()

Error Message:

TypeError: an integer is required

Answer 1

I was using the example from the 3.x openCV version while I am running on 2.4.8. The syntax is different in 2.x:

ret, labels, centers = cv2.kmeans(points, cluster_n, term_crit, 10, 0)
