No, the seed map must be integer (not more than 32 bit int), that's
the only limitation. The data to be segmented can be anything, integer
and/or floating point.

But it does not make sense to use a pan band as seeds when segmenting
the other bands. Seeds are typically the result of a previous run of
i.segment or the result of a previous classification of the same data.
