IplImage* has memory leak, how to release memory ? #12

Closed Tariq-Abuhashim closed 8 years ago

Tariq-Abuhashim commented 8 years ago

IplImage* cvImageL allocates the memory, and cvReleaseImage( &cvImageL ) is supposed to release it. Looks like it only deletes the pointer, but not the physical memory allocated. This seems to be caused by cvLoadImage: IplImage* cvImageL = cvLoadImage( left_img_file_name.c_str() );

Any ideas on how to empty the allocated memory ?

It seems unrelated to stereo-vision, although stereo-vision still makes use of old OpenCV code. Moving to Q&A...
