Terminated due to memory issue on physical device

[bradleygolden]

I've ran openalpr-ios on the simulator with success. Now I'm trying to run the project on an iPhone 6s (9.3.1) and each time I get the following output in my debug console:

Message from debugger: Terminated due to memory issue

I've enabled the "Address Sanitizer" under the "Diagnostics" tab to determine if I could find where the memory issue is occurring. After enabling, Address Sanitizer break points in PlateScanner.mm at this point in the code:

Address Sanitizer outputs this error in the console:

==1173==ERROR: AddressSanitizer failed to allocate 0x215a4000 (559562752) bytes of LargeMmapAllocator (error code: 12)

I've noticed the app loads okay so long as I don't provide it an image, but this doesn't help me much. I'm not sure how to go about this issue.

I am having exact same issue. If anyone has a solution, I would like to know.

I'm also having the same issue, except I'm on an iPhone 4s with iOS 9.2.1.

[kstott]

iOS 9.3, iPhone 6

[alvinbaena]

I managed to fix it by copying the contents of the openalpr.conf.defaults (from here) to the openalpr.conf that should be linked in the project.

When I say it works i mean it crashes after 4 detections (memory) and takes like 20 seconds instantiating the PlateScanner object, but it works.

Maybe the settings defined in the file should be tweaked for better performance, but I'm really new at this detection business.

[kstott]

I believe the issue was:

max_detection_input_width = 1280 max_detection_input_height = 720

It now works for me as well - at least with one iteration. Second iteration never works. No errors, but it never recognizes plates even when using the exact same image.

[PhilippOtto89]

Same issue here. Any working solution?

[renatosc]

Same issue here. @alvinbaena solution above worked for me

[ducnmisbk]

as @alvinbaena 's solution, now i can build project to device but It can not recognize plate even when I used to do in simulator
