Call a C ++ function from Python and convert the OpenCV Matrix to a Numpy array

Question

Background situation

I try to use the OpenCV Stitching module through Python bindings, but I get an error:

import cv2
stitcher = cv2.createStitcher(False)

imageL = cv2.imread("imageL.jpg")
imageC = cv2.imread("imageC.jpg")
imageR = cv2.imread("imageR.jpg")

stitcher.stitch((imageL, imageC))

error: /home/user/OpenCV3.1.0/opencv/modules/python/src2/cv2.cpp: 163: error: (-215) Usually the data should be NULL! in the allocate function
