I have a simple code

import cv2
import numpy as np

Image = cv2.imread('blue.jpg')

Threshold = np.zeros(Image.shape, np.uint8) 
cv2.threshold(Image, 121, 255,   cv2.THRESH_BINARY, Threshold) 
cv2.imshow("WindowName", Threshold )

cv2.waitKey(0) 
cv2.destroyAllWindows()

Why do you want to do it manually? Just let it go out of scope and python will clean up for you.

Just call deallocate(). That will empty the data from the Mat, but there will be a tiny amount of overhead. This does what you want though.

Is there a deallocate in python?

i tried something like this

import cv2
import numpy as np

Image = np.zeros((20000,20000), np.uint8) 

Threshold = np.zeros(Image.shape, np.uint8) 
cv2.threshold(Image, 121, 255,   cv2.THRESH_BINARY, Threshold) 
cv2.imshow("WindowName", Threshold )

cv2.waitKey(0)
Image = np.zeros((1,1), np.uint8)
Threshold = np.zeros((1,1), np.uint8)
cv2.imshow("WindowName", Threshold )

cv2.waitKey(0)
cv2.destroyAllWindows()
