Answer 1

The documention of findContours is clearly saying that it can afford to take single channel images as inputs(i.e 8uc1 and 32sc1) But you are sending 3 channel image.here is the documentation of findcontours http://docs.opencv.org/2.4/modules/imgproc/doc/structural_analysis_and_shape_descriptors.html#findcontours
