Hi,

I am running an application in production and I see by python process getting killed while performing opencv imdecode. Now these images are bad images that usually crash the system but I need to make sure I gracefully handle this in my code and log the crash dump.

Can anyone provide suggestions on the best way to do this?

Also, I reduced the number of failures by only accepting JPEG and PNG images. I was seeing more failures with TIFF and JPEG2000s, but I would like to renable other image formats as well. I am need for recommendations on the checks to make sure image decode doesn't take away all me memory or makes my service prone to DOS attacks.

Thanks, Anand
