I am the moment trying to convert a rgb to hsv, which seems impossible.. I thought i might have been due the Mat being empty.. but thats not the case...

I get this error message. 

/build/buildd/opencv-2.4.8+dfsg1/modules/imgproc/src/color.cpp:3642: error: (-215) depth == CV_8U || depth == CV_16U || depth == CV_32F in function cvtColor

for these lines of code.. 

Point find(Mat frame)
{

    Mat imgOriginal = frame.clone();
    Mat imgHSV = frame.clone();

    if (frame.empty())
    {
        cout << "Empty...';
        exit -1;
    }


    cvtColor(imgOriginal, imgHSV, COLOR_BGR2HSV); //Convert the captured frame from BGR to HSV

what could be going wrong here???

Check the type of frame (frame.type()), it seems to be unsupported for the function. Also, cloning frame to imgHSV is a waste of time. Apart from that, and maybe unrelated, what version of OpenCV are you using? Because COLOR_BGR2HSV is for 3.0.0, but your error says you're using an installation folder called 2.4.8, and that's weird...

What types does is support?

The ones indicated in the error message. And I correct myself, I've just discovered that the flag COLOR_BGR2HSV is valid for 2.4 tree too (I though it should be CV_BGR2HSV).

I told you, the needed type is one of the mentioned in the error message: CV_8U or CV_16U or CV_32F. Start by checking which type is your image, to then choose the better convertion.
