The input image could be...CV_8UC1, CV_32FC1 or any other possibility.

input.channels() for number of channels

input.type() is one of CV_8U, CV_32F, CV_64F ...

I'm hoping someone knows an easier way. input.type() just returns an int, which means you have to look it up. It would be nice if there's a version that outputs a string, for easier debugging.
