OpenCV自动内存管理

OpenCV自动内存管理

// create a big 8Mb matrix
Mat A(1000, 1000, CV_64F);

// create another header for the same matrix;
// this is an instant operation, regardless of the matrix size.
Mat B = A;

// create another header for the 3-rd row of A; no data is copied either
Mat C = B.row(3);

// now create a separate copy of the matrix
Mat D = B.clone();

// copy the 5-th row of B to C, that is, copy the 5-th row of A to the 3-rd row of A.
B.row(5).copyTo(C);

// now let A and D share the data; 
// after that the modified version of A is still referenced by B and C.
A = D;

// now make B an empty matrix (which references no memory buffers),
// but the modified version of A will still be referenced by C,
// despite that C is just a single row of the original A
B.release();

// finally, make a full copy of C. As a result, the big modified
// matrix will be deallocated, since it is not referenced by anyone
C = C.clone();
