    vis_mean = x_mean.reshape(size).astype(int)

    return vis_mean

After change the datatype, I found I can't resize the image, and the error says:"cv2.error: ......\opencv-2.4.13.2\modules\imgproc\src\imgwarp.cpp:2114: error: (-215) func != 0 in function cv::resize"
After a long time search, I found that datatype has a problem, I should change the float to np.uint8, instead of pure int.
