exceptions.TypeError: src is not a numpy array, neither a scalar

import cv2
import numpy as np

def imageMoments(img):
    #Single channel(8 bit or floating point 2D array)  
    read_original = cv2.imread(img)

    ret,thresh = cv2.threshold(img, 127, 255, 0)
    contours, hierarchy = cv2.findContours(thresh, cv2.RETR_LIST, cv2.CHAIN_APPROX_NONE)
    cnt = contours[0]

    M = cv2.moments(cnt)
    print M

    cx = int(M[’m10’]/M[’m00’])
    cy = int(M[’m01’]/M[’m00’])
    return

I get the error

src is not a numpy array, neither a scalar

cv2.threshold requires a gray-scale image for an argument, not a string representing a filename. Thus, replace:

read_original = cv2.imread(img)
ret,thresh = cv2.threshold(img, 127, 255, 0)

With:

read_original = cv2.imread(img)
imgray = cv2.cvtColor(read_original,cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)
ret,thresh = cv2.threshold(imgray, 127, 255, 0)

In the original code, the string img is passed as an argument to threshold. In the revised code, the argument to threshold is instead a gray-scale image, imgray.
