error: (-215) (npoints = prevPtsMat.checkVector(2, CV_32F, true)) >= 0 in function calcOpticalFlowPyrLK

edit

Ok I found my mistake. In the detection_coins() dunction I changed into integers the corners coordonates. I changed that and I don't have this error anymore. Now Ihave the following error when I use the cv.imshow() function at the lasts lines of my program to see image_flow :

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/oliviersamin/Documents/Projets_perso/Projet_FORSOLAR/Developement/Traitement image/Premier developpement/Photos_References/essai.py", line 101, in <module>
    cv.imshow("image avec flow",image_flow)
error: /tmp/opencv-tjJs/opencv-2.4.9/modules/highgui/src/utils.cpp:611: error: (-15) Source image must have 1, 3 or 4 channels in function cvConvertImage

Any help with that?

Hello, I'd like to detect clouds movement filmed with a camera. I'm coding with Python. To do so, I choose two different pictures from this film. Next I detect the interesting points with the goodFeaturesToTrack() function. At last, I'd like to use the calcOpticalFlowPyLK() function. When I'm using the last function and I'm meeting the errror that's in title. You'll find the code underneath :
