OpenCV Object Detection Memory Issue - c

Question

The code I wrote below is objection detection using size-invariant template matching. This technique was detailed in the following site: https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&q=http://www.pyimagesearch.com/2015/01/26/multi-scale-template-matching-using-python-opencv/&source=gmail&ust=1489552541603000&usg=AFQjCNHSfgL_RTy-o5SMyCmWELFbsfOOTw
The function works fine. However, when I am running too many iterations in the while loop, OpenCV Error: Insufficient Memory will occur.
I can't seem to figure out why I'm running into this error as I'm releasing the the matrix data that I'm creating in cvCreateMat in every iteration. The memory error occurs after running the loop several times and in the function cvMatchTemplate. Am I missing another source of error? I am writing this code in C on the LCDK.
Function:
double minVal = 0.0;
double maxVal = 0.0 ;
CvPoint minLoc;
CvPoint maxLoc;
double ratio = 1.0;
CvMat* mask2 = NULL;
//for containing the maximum values
CvMat* resized_source;
CvMat* result; //result stored for every shapes
while (1){
// All templates are sized around the same
if(width_curr <= template->cols || height_curr <= template->rows)
break;
resized_source = cvCreateMat(height_curr,width_curr,CV_8UC1);
cvResize(source_close_edge_dist_8,resized_source,CV_INTER_LINEAR);
result = cvCreateMat((resized_source->rows)-(template->rows)+1, (resized_source->cols)-(template->cols)+1, CV_32FC1);
cvMatchTemplate(resized_source, template, result, CV_TM_CCOEFF);
//Detecting several objects
cvMinMaxLoc(result, &minVal, &maxVal, &minLoc, &maxLoc, mask2);
*(max_all+*size) = maxVal;
(max_all_point+*size)->x = maxLoc.x;
(max_all_point+*size)->y = maxLoc.y;
*(max_all_ratio+*size) = sqrt(ratio);
*size = *size + 1;
// move on to next resizing
ratio -= 0.04;
width_curr = sqrt(ratio)*width;
height_curr = sqrt(ratio)*height;
minVal = 0.0;
maxVal =0.0 ;
cvReleaseData(resized_source);
cvReleaseMat(&resized_source);
cvReleaseData(result);
cvReleaseMat(&result);
}
