Using cv reduce in Python

I'm trying to use cv reduce to get the projection of an image onto the x and y axis.

I used:

x_sum = cv2.reduce(img, 0, cv2.cv.CV_REDUCE_SUM, cv2.CV_32S)

I get this error:

OpenCV Error: Unsupported format or combination of formats (Unsupported combination of input and output array formats) in reduce.

I can't find any more detailed documentation on how to use reduce in Python. Does anyone know where I've gone wrong?

Alternatively, is there another method I could use? calcHist() seems to only find the colour histogram of the image.

what is 'img' ?

img is actually the edges of my original picture

  img = cv2.imread('test.jpg', 0)
  img = cv2.medianBlur(img, 39)
  img = cv2.Canny(img, 30, 40)

Try to use CV_32F or CV_64F instead of CV_32S

@pi-null-mezon I have tried these and keep getting the same error.

Do not know what to say... In C++ your code works for CV_32S, CV_32F and CV_64F and throws same error for CV_16U, CV_16S. Maybe something wrong with the 'x_sum', how you initialize it?

@pi-null-mezon I haven't initialized it. In Python there is normally no need to initialize. Should I initialize?

I ended up updating my version of OpenCV to 3.1.0 because I heard there had been an update on the Python bindings to cv::reduce since 2.4.13.

I also changed the function call to include 'dtype=' which I think is needed for all the optional arguments

dst = cv2.reduce(img, 0, cv2.REDUCE_SUM, dtype=cv2.CV_32S)

I no longer get an error! :)

Notes

img = the edges of an image that I imported
dst did not need to be initialised
cv2.cv.CV_REDUCE_SUM changed to cv2.REDUCE_SUM somewhere between versions (I didn't see any documentation on this, I just got an error saying it was no longer there and I guessed the new name.
