"Unable to allocate memory for an incoming image frame due to insufficient free physical memory." error for skeleton tracking with Kinect v2

I was trying to do skeleton tracking with Kinect v2 but am getting "Unable to allocate memory for an incoming image frame due to insufficient free physical memory." when running the second time. Restarting the matlab window enables to solve this problem for one time. again while am running the same code for more than one time the same error comes. The error screenshot is attached herewith. Please anyone if possible let me know how to resolve this error.

How big is your image?

How much memory do you have?

How much do you already have in your workspace?

Hello

Do you solve the problem?

[yann Michaud]

hi guys, I still have the same pbm today even with a 1To SSD and 16Go RAM.

Have you found a solution ? Or an other way to get the same result ?

Thanking you

You might be able to use https://www.mathworks.com/help/imaq/managing-memory-usage.html or https://www.mathworks.com/help/imaq/imaqreset.html

See also https://www.mathworks.com/support/bugreports/1422542 which has to do with macvideo adapter but shows a way to change memory allocation strategy.

I tried solutions from above two links but didn't work out for me. Any more suggestions?

Thanking You.

I had the same error but with "linuxvideo" (I'm on Ubuntu 18.04.6) and tiny 8GB RAM :).

In my case, the solution below worked.

https://www.mathworks.com/support/bugreports/1422542

Below is what I tried. Hope this helps.

Before

>> obj = videoinput("linuxvideo",1);
>> start(obj);
Error event occurred at 11:56:41 for video input object: YUY2_640x480-linuxvideo-1.
Unable to allocate memory for an incoming image frame due to insufficient free physical memory.
Unable to allocate memory for an incoming image frame due to insufficient free physical memory.

After - I had to set -limitPhysicalMemoryUsage false before creating videoinput object.

>> imaqmex('feature','-limitPhysicalMemoryUsage',false);
>> obj = videoinput("linuxvideo",1);
>> start(obj);

Hi

Use the following code:

set(obj,'Timeout',value);% increase the value parameter as much as the problem is resolved. In my case, the value of 35 worked

Answer 5

[Dymiargani Milono]

i used to have the same problem as you, back then i got 8 GB of RAM and that notification is always showing every time i run the my program.

in my own experience, you need at least 10 GB of RAM to run this program

[sheng]

the RAM of My PC is 16Gb. But the same problem happens to me, again and again.

I still have to try other ways

Hi guys,

still the same issue with matlab 2022b and 2024a with win11 and this adapter:

InstalledAdaptors: {'tisimaq_r2013_64'}

MATLABVersion: '24.1 (R2024a)'

ToolboxName: 'Image Acquisition Toolbox'

ToolboxVersion: '24.1 (R2024a)'

to be sure the machine ram (16GB) is sufficient, i used only a small roi:

vid.ROIPosition = [0 0 4000 100];

takes some time but then

"Unable to allocate memory for an incoming image frame due to insufficient free physical memory."

occurs

without this thread i would assume this is due to the third party driver, but now i have the impression Matlab has a general issue here..

which confirms with the webcam:

Error event occurred at 14:48:33 for video input object: MJPG_1280x720-winvideo-1.

Unable to allocate memory for an incoming image frame due to insufficient free physical memory.
