I want to use OpenCV android in JNI in my Android application. What would be an effective way to avoid out of memory in OpenCV android?

The below is one way I am considering. But not sure whether is good or feasible. For example, I have an input image file. The desired size would be 3000x2000.

So I try to estimate the whole memory the JNI might use. Then I will use one method (which one? For example, allocate memory and then delete: does it takes a long time) to see whether there is sufficent memory. If not, then I will downsize the size of the image to be processed (the downsized size is not desired, but still acceptable).

Is there any better way? Thanks in advance!

If you want to use OpenCv in Android, try using OpenCv4Android SDK -OpenCv for Android. The SDK is very robust, well defined, efficient and gives near Desktop system performance (Android OS Architecture limits performance to certain level for advanced applications, for the application user the difference is unnoticable). The development cycle is simple and quick. I've successfully migrated my applications from OpenCv C++ to OpenCv4Android.

Thanks. I have used OpenCV4Android SDK, and developed one application. However, I want to know the limitation of memory. Any idea? Thanks.

As far as I know the java memory is quite small, like 50-100mb, maybe more on newer devices. If you use the android NDK, it is unlimited (or at least you will rather meet the physical limit than the software limit)

Thanks. Do you think the available NDK memory is the total physical memory, minus: memory used by the system, memory used by applications?

In theory this should be correct, but usually the android system kills apps running in the background when an other app needs more memory.
