BOWImgDescriptorExtractor::compute fail on BRIEF + BruteForce-Hamming(2)

I have tried to train a classifier based on the BOW, but BOWImgDescriptorExtractor::compute fail on descriptors extractor of type BRIEF and matcher of type BruteForce-Hamming(2). It says:

OpenCV Error: Assertion failed (type == src2.type() && src1.cols == src2.cols && (type == CV_32F || type == CV_8U)) in batchDistance, file /home/me/opencv/modules/core/src/stat.cpp, line 2473
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'cv::Exception'
  what():  /home/me/opencv/modules/core/src/stat.cpp:2473: error: (-215) type == src2.type() && src1.cols == src2.cols && (type == CV_32F || type == CV_8U) in function batchDistance

In fact what are the compatibilities between the extractor types and matcher types? (I know that flann works just with SIFT and SURF)

The problem is that the BRIEF descriptor returns descriptors in CV_8U and the matcher expects float. You could convert the descriptors from CV_8U to CV_32F with convertTo method from Mat.

FYI, SIFT and SURF return float descriptors, therefore they are "directly" compatible with matchers.

FYI is new to me, where is the info about it?
