hypermedia opencv library mac memory leak
Jan 19th, 2009, 1:15pm  
i have a problem with the opencv library. what i do is search thousands of pictures for faces against each of the opencv provided cascades. something like:

Code:

// loop pictures, img is current pimage

opencv.allocate( img.width, img.height );
opencv.copy(img);

//// loop cascades array

    opencv.cascade( cascades[ic] );
    faces = opencv.detect();

//// end loop cascades
// end loop pictures


this runs for a while (couple of hundred pics), then i get:
Code:

java(3577,0x8c4000) malloc: *** mmap(size=16777216) failed (error code=12)
*** error: can't allocate region
*** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug
OpenCV ERROR: Insufficient memory (Out of memory)

in function cvAlloc, ../../../cxcore/src/cxalloc.cpp(111)
Terminating the application...

called from cvUnregisterType, ../../../cxcore/src/cxpersistence.cpp(4933)


thanks

Hate to point out the obvious but if your trying to load thousands of pictures and you get an out of memory error, you might be... out of memory? I think your machine doesn't have enough memory to deal with the program you have written.

one question here - how do you loop through an array of cascades?
