Running out of memmory when using VideoCapture

[ThomasWatzl]

I am not entirely sure if this is an issue but I was running in some trubles using your module.
First of all thanks for a great opencv environment.

This code is just an example for what i am trying to do:

var cv = require('opencv');
var camera = new cv.VideoCapture(0);
camera.read(function reading(err, im){
            //do some image processing here.
    camera.read(reading);
});

For a while everything runs just fine but after a while I get the following error:

OpenCV Error: Insufficient memory (Failed to allocate 921604 bytes) in OutOfMemoryError, file /home/pi/opencv-2.4.10/modules/core/src/alloc.cpp, line 52
terminate called after throwing an instance of 'cv::Exception'
what(): /home/pi/opencv-2.4.10/modules/core/src/alloc.cpp:52: error: (-4) Failed to allocate 921604 bytes in function OutOfMemoryError

Is there a way to free memory? I thought the Carbage Collector should take care of that.

Thanks for your help.
Kind regards Thomas

Same is happening if I use the ReadSync method. Memory is filling up until it crashes.
Help would be much appreciated.

Kind regards Thomas

Might be useful to add a dispose method to the Matrix class that frees the underlying cv::Mat immediately

[ThomasWatzl]

yes that would be awesome

Has anyone managed to make any changes that help this?

Do you know which Object is overloaded ? What should we "flush" to keep the Memory ok ? (I have the same issue)
