When i see the resultant matrix in a file, i can see the first character clearly. But the second character does not print completely. It fails in its last iteration ie i=1, u=127, v=161 The error thrown is as follows:

OpenCV Error: Bad argument (unrecognized or unsupported array type) in cvPtr2D, file /home/varun/MTP1/opencv-2.4.6.1/modules/core/src/array.cpp, line 1830 terminate called after throwing an instance of 'cv::Exception' what(): /home/varun/MTP1/opencv-2.4.6.1/modules/core/src/array.cpp:1830: error: (-5) unrecognized or unsupported array type in function cvPtr2D

Aborted (core dumped)

I checked in array.cpp of OpenCV/modules/core/src directory containing cvGet2D but did not understand completely. Can somebody tell what the problem is? Thanks.
