Hi,
I'm very new to python. I need to use the function getSkeletonIntersection(skeleton) for junction points. But when i add neighbours(x,y,image) in the file like
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/41705405/finding-intersections-of-a-skeletonised-image-in-python-opencv/41708407#41708407
as stated here- it shows UnboundLocalError: local variable referenced before assignment

when I add neighbours(x,y,image) inside of getSkeletonIntersection(skeleton) it shows
TypeError: 'list' object is not callable while trying to access a list

Could you please help here?
