imaqMorphology && imaqConvexHull

[Arhowk]

I'm trying to add the followng lines to the "Vision Color Tracking" sample

				NIVision.imaqMorphology(binaryFrame, binaryFrame, MorphologyMethod.GRADIENTOUT, new StructuringElement(5, 5, 1));
				NIVision.imaqMorphology(binaryFrame, binaryFrame, MorphologyMethod.GRADIENTIN, null);
				NIVision.imaqConvexHull(binaryFrame, binaryFrame, 1);

if I comment out the first line and third line, the second line (MorphologyMethod.GRADIENTIN) gives me this error

ERROR Unhandled exception: VisionException [com.ni.vision.VisionException: imaqError: -1074396072: Invalid image border.] at [com.ni.vision.NIVision._imaqMorphology(Native Method), com.ni.vision.NIVision.imaqMorphology(NIVision.java:19583), org.usfirst.frc.team1684.robot.Robot.autonomous(Robot.java:120), edu.wpi.first.wpilibj.SampleRobot.startCompetition(SampleRobot.java:133), edu.wpi.first.wpilibj.RobotBase.main(RobotBase.java:234)]

if I comment out the second and third line, the first line (MorphologyMethod.GRADIENTOUT) gives me this error

ERROR Unhandled exception: VisionException [com.ni.vision.VisionException: imaqError: -1074395269: Null pointer.] at [com.ni.vision.NIVision._imaqMorphology(Native Method), com.ni.vision.NIVision.imaqMorphology(NIVision.java:19583), org.usfirst.frc.team1684.robot.Robot.autonomous(Robot.java:119), edu.wpi.first.wpilibj.SampleRobot.startCompetition(SampleRobot.java:133), edu.wpi.first.wpilibj.RobotBase.main(RobotBase.java:234)]

If i comment out the first two lines, the convex hull call completely erases the image and leaves me with a Mat of zero's.

(Yes, I'm sure that, for all of these functions, binaryImage is returning a good image.)

What am I doing wrong..?

The exception says that your image border property is not valid for that operation. When the image is created, you will want to add a few pixels of border. For a 5x5, I assume 2 pixels is the minimum necessary.

I don't understand the other condition, but it may be related.
