Cluster crushes with unknown exception

Dear Community

I seek for your help. I found this project that builds Bag-of-Features Descriptor on SIFT Features on OpenCV 2.3. I will use OpenCV 3.4.0

I tried to rewrite first part of it to Java and there are two things that are not similar between his and my code. Firstly I chose only 3 images and he chose 20. Secondly I'm not sure that TermCriteria types in C++ and Java are similar.

He uses this

CV_TERMCRIT_ITER

type. But I have only these types to choose

TermCriteria.EPS TermCriteria.COUNT TermCriteria.MAX_ITER

Here is my code

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception{
    System.loadLibrary(Core.NATIVE_LIBRARY_NAME);
    FeatureDetector detector = FeatureDetector.create(FeatureDetector.ORB);
    DescriptorExtractor descriptor = DescriptorExtractor.create(DescriptorExtractor.ORB);

    Mat img;
    MatOfKeyPoint keypoints = new MatOfKeyPoint();
    Mat desc = new Mat();
    Mat featuresUnclustered = new Mat();

    for(String file : filename){
        img = Imgcodecs.imread(file, Imgcodecs.CV_LOAD_IMAGE_GRAYSCALE);
        detector.detect(img, keypoints);
        descriptor.compute(img, keypoints, desc);
        featuresUnclustered.push_back(desc);
    }

    //Construct BOWKMeansTrainer
    //the number of bags
    int dictionarySize=200;
    //define Term Criteria
    TermCriteria tc = new TermCriteria(TermCriteria.EPS | TermCriteria.MAX_ITER,100,0.001);
    //retries number
    int retries=1;
    //necessary flags
    int flags=Core.KMEANS_PP_CENTERS;
    //Create the BoW (or BoF) trainer
    BOWKMeansTrainer bowTrainer = new BOWKMeansTrainer(dictionarySize,tc,retries,flags);
    //cluster the feature vectors
    Mat dictionary=bowTrainer.cluster(featuresUnclustered);
    //store the vocabulary
    System.out.println(dictionary.toString());
}

And this is exception that i got

you cannot use ORB descriptors here, they are binary ones, and float descriptors are required for kmeans clustering. this means, you have to use SIFT,SURF or AKAZE. (no please DON'T try to convert them, it's useless)

btw, you won't be able to construct a BOWImgDescriptorExtractor from java (it's all no problem from c++ or python, just the java wrappers are a bit retarded here), so sooner or later, you'll have to dive into the c++ src code, and rewrite it on your own.

then, to make sense, you need like ~500 - 1000 images, 3 will be never enough

Thank you for answer. Firstly I've chosen SIFT descriptors and after that I changed it to SURF and ORB, because I thought that the problem was somehow in SIFT.

I suppose it easier to choose C++ or Python to write than fix source code.
