Question

Facing error in image segmentation using meanshift algorithm in following line:

import cv2
(segmented_image, labels_image, number_regions) = cv2.meanShift.segment(im, spatial_radius=6, range_radius=4.5, min_density=50)

complete traceback is:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "image_processing.py", line 16, in <module>

AttributeError: 'builtin_function_or_method' object has no attribute 'segment'

Answer 1

This error is telling you cv2.meanShift does not refer to a property, but rather a function/method. You're calling it as if it's a property. Look at the API for cv2 and make sure you are calling meanShift as a function with the proper arguments.
