Hi, there,

Each time I call Python API warpPerspective, the memory usages are increasing simultaneously. I suspect that this function does not properly free its memory in Python's garbage collection system.

The following code will eat my entire memory eventually. It seems that each time rot have new reference, the old memory did not get free. My opencv version: 3.0.0-tp compiled on Ubuntu 12.04

I am not familiar with the garbage collection. Is this a bug, or I am doing something wrong here?

def main():
    M = np.random.randn(3,3)
    img = np.random.randint(255, size=(1024, 1024, 3))
    while(1):
        rot = cv2.warpPerspective(img, M, (1024, 1024))
        time.sleep(1)

Update: I am also use memory_profiler to checkout what happens in my memory. It seems that the first couple of warpPerspective do have memory collect. Their memory increases are zero. But then after that each time we call warpPerspective, it increase around 3Mb memory cost.
