How to remove the vertical space between two images latex

Question

I know this topic is allready discussed but I still don't manage to solve this problem. I have 2 pictures in my document. I would like to delete the white vertical space between them. I found something about floatsep but it seems not work. I just have 2 simple images:

\begin{figure}[H]
\centering
\includegraphics[scale=0.37]{Cube.png}
\end{figure}

\begin{figure}[H]
\centering
\includegraphics[scale=0.37]{Cog.png}
\end{figure}

What do I have to add to solve this problem? And where I have to do it? Thank you!

Please read the answers to http://tex.stackexchange.com/q/39017/5763 for why [H] is normally a bad idea. — Martin Schröder, May 01 '13 at 16:02

You can combine the contents of the separate figure environments into one:

\begin{figure}[htb]
  \centering
  \includegraphics[scale=0.37]{Cube.png}

  \vspace{<whatever>}

  \includegraphics[scale=0.37]{Cog.png}
\end{figure}

Now you can supply a space of <whatever> to adequately separate the images. If you don't want any space, just remove the \vspace command but keep an empty line between the two included images. Some suggestions:

The [H] float specifier (from the float package) doesn't help here, since you're keeping things together anyway. For more on float placement, see How to influence the position of float environments like figure and table in LaTeX?;
Scaling an inserted image using scale is okay. However, in most cases it's better to use a width or height key-value. This way you can ensure the two images are of the same size. Use, for example, width=0.5\linewidth.

It works perfectly! Thank you for your suggestions as well! – Apr 30 '13 at 13:53
what do you when both the figures include sub-figures ? – DVG Mar 08 '17 at 01:18
@DineshVG: If you're using the subcaption package, then you can set the \subcaptionbox (or whatever) without a blank line between them (perhaps spacing them using \hspace{<len>}) while you do include a blank line between the regular figure \captions like above. See this example paste and its corresponding output. – Werner Mar 08 '17 at 01:39
Could we also give a sub-caption names to the images placed inside the subcaptionboxes? – DVG Mar 08 '17 at 08:31

For one caption for both figures, you can try something like this

\begin{figure}[!t]
%first figure 
\begin{minipage}[h]{1.0\linewidth}
\centering
\includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{xomp}
\end{minipage}

\vspace{0.00mm} 

%second figure 
\begin{minipage}[h]{0.5\linewidth}
\centering
\includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{ins}
\end{minipage}   

%\vspace{0.00mm} 

%third figure 
%..
%..
\caption{one caption for both figure}
\label{fig:1}
\end{figure}
