"but some portion of 1st image is show. " -- this is unclear

when small images (having different width and height ) displayed in same window consecutively, sometimes some part of previous image still visible on window.question is connected with other question http://answers.opencv.org/question/17... i will merge two questions into one later.

this is not a serious problem but you can avoid it by using destroyWindow() or destroyAllWindows() before imshow()

TEST CODE:

#include <opencv2/highgui/highgui.hpp>

using namespace cv;

int main()
{   
    Mat m1(50, 100, CV_8UC3, Scalar(255, 0, 0));
    Mat m2(100, 50, CV_8UC3, Scalar(0, 0, 255));

    imshow("test", m1);
    waitKey(0);
    imshow("test", m2);
    waitKey(0); 

    imshow("test", m1);
    waitKey(0);
    destroyWindow("test"); // or    destroyAllWindows();
    imshow("test", m2);
    waitKey(0);

    return 0;
}
