 \f$1 \times N\f$ or \f$N \times 1\f$ ) of 2D points (Point or Point2f ).
+Note: For Python users, note that the numpy type for the input array should be either np.int32 or
+np.float32, or in general of type CV_32S or CV_32F.
 @param binaryImage If it is true, all non-zero image pixels are treated as 1's. The parameter is
 used for images only.
