VideoStream consumes memory even after stop
mpimentel04 opened this issue · 4 comments
Hi,
I'm using the function, that will consume memory after execution:
vs = VideoStream('rtsp://admin:admin123@192.168.0.195/').start()
even after I finish with the function, CPU consumption is reset to zero, however memory consumption continues:
vs.stop()
The memory consumption is only reset when I stop the program.
Is there a function to solve this?
Thanks
Hey, @mpimentel04 I am new to this repo but by looking at the source code for the mentioned function. I guess it's an inbuild Lock in python called GIL(Global Interpreter Lock) which is responsible for the above memory consumption. I am not sure but It may be the case.
@mpimentel04 Sorry for the wrong interpretation earlier, After a little research, I found the problem happens when VideoCapture() is used.
Problem: It can be better said a memory leak happens when we use the above function in OpenCV.

Even if this issue is closed problem still persists on the recent version of OpenCV.
It's a problem of OpenCV I guess not a python or this code-related problem.
Thanks @soumya17052002
Wow, it seems to be an old opencv problem.
I will investigate and try to find some solution.
Thank you for your help
