Memory leak with Mat in convertTo-function

Question

I have some trouble with managing memory in my function. Valgrid says I\'m having a memory leak after the convert-function. Could it be because of the data is not being properly

Answer 1

please don't store pointers to Mat in your vector(or anywhere else !).

those things are refcounted internally, like smartpointers, and you're wrecking that by storing/copying pointers (a vector of pointers to smartpointers would sound silly anyway, no?).

use a plain vector<Mat>, trade some additional ~56 bytes per item against sound sleep tonight ;)
