Stitcher crashes when used with images created from buffered images.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Execute this pseudo-code

int imageCount =  5;
MatVector images = new MatVector(imageCount);
for(int index=0; index<imageCount;index++){
     try {
          BufferedImage bufferedImage = ImageIO.read(....);
          IplImage image = IplImage.createFrom(bufferedImage);
          images.put(index, image);
     } catch (IOException ex) {
          Exceptions.printStackTrace(ex);
     }
}
Stitcher stitcher = Stitcher.createDefault(false);
IplImage result = new IplImage(null);
stitcher.stitch(images, result);

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Stitched image which is composed of given images. Program sometimes crashes 
randomly.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.4 Windows 8 64-bit

Please provide any additional information below.
Crashes occur only if I read images as bufferedImage and convert them into 
IplImage. If I read them with cvLoadImage as IplImage directly no problem 
occurs. The images I used are compatible with stitching. Additionally if there 
is no crash from the start then there seems to be less likely that another 
crash will occur for consecutive runs. However when the crash happens then 
consecutive crashes occurs more frequently. Therefore I believe that it has 
something to do with native memory pointers.

Can you try to hang on to references of the IplImage objects you create in 
Java? MatVector doesn't do it on its own, at the moment anyway

Thanks for the quick reply. I tried your suggestion and it seems to resolve my 
issue.
I stored IplImages in an array list parallel to the MatVector.

Thanks again very much.

Hi, As this answer said i have tried this code 
  int numOfImages =Integer.parseInt(txtNumOfImages.getText()) ;
        Stitcher stitcher = Stitcher.createDefault(false);
        IplImage[] images;
        images=new IplImage[numOfImages];
        images.put(i,cvLoadImage(txtpath.getText()));
 int status = stitcher.stitch(images[numOfImages],result);

          System.out.println("result ok...(Y)");

            if( status == stitcher.OK )
            {

                cvSaveImage("images\\StitchImage.jpg", result);
                System.out.println("stitcher OK (Y)");

            }

          result = cvLoadImage("images\\StitchImage.jpg");

instead of using the MatVector as  MatVector images = new 
MatVector(numOfImages);

Can I please have an idea about how to implement 

              images.put(i,cvLoadImage(txtpath.getText())); and
         int status = stitcher.stitch(images,result);
with arrayList instead of MatVectorepleas. thank you.I am really stuck with my 
project here.
