Batch Processing does not work for large images (500mB-1GB)

[mayaucsf]

I have been attempting to process large images in ilastik (500mB - 1GB) but ilastik stops responding whenever I try to batch process even a single image. When I attempted to run object predictions through headless mode, code started opening files and then appeared to stop (no error message) without generating an output file. When I attempted using the batch processing window, the status bar would never move past 0% and ilastik would stop responding and eventually crash. However, when I segmented the same images into 10 tiles (~50mb each), I was able to run all 10 tiles at the same time.

Is there any way to run larger images through the program without the need to segment them?

Which image format are you using?
The best way to process larger images or volumes would be to load them as HDF5 and set an appropriate chunk size.
Ilastik has a data-conversion workflow that should enable you to copy your input data to HDF5.
