calcHist invalid Mat when dims = 3 (n-dimensional histogram)

edit

Hi all, I would like to generate a 3-dimensional HSV Histogram. It works for 2-D HS Histogram but fails to generate Histogram for 3-dimension. Can someone help me understand what I am doing wrong?

  cv::cvtColor(matImage, matImageHSV, CV_BGR2HSV);

  // Quanta Ratio
  int scale = 10;

  // Quantize the hue to 36 levels
  // and the saturation to 25 levels
  int hbins = 36, sbins = 25,  vbins = 25;
  int histSize[] = {hbins, sbins, vbins};

  // hue varies from 0 to 179, see cvtColor
  float hranges[] = { 0, 180 };

  // saturation varies from 0 (black-gray-white) to
  // 255 (pure spectrum color)
  float sranges[] = { 0, 256 };
  float vranges[] = { 0, 256 };

  const float* ranges[] = { hranges, sranges, vranges };

  // we compute the histogram from the 0-th and 1-st channels
  int channels[] = {0, 1, 2};

  int dims = 3;

  int nImages = 1;

  // Calculate histogram
  cv::MatND hist;

  cv::calcHist(&matImageHSV, nImages, channels, cv::Mat(), // do not use mask
           hist, dims, histSize, ranges,
           true, // the histogram is uniform
           false );

There is no exception or error is thrown.

But the output hist matrix is invalid with values (rows, cols) as (-1, -1).
