DecompressionBombError(msg)

[kess-one]

I apologize in advance for my ignorance, I am trying to complete an image analysis on an unusually large image containing 40 mice brains. When I try to perform some segmentation on larger areas at increased magnification I get a message reading:

PIL.Image.DecompressionBombError: Image size (482223296 pixels) exceeds limit of 178956970 pixels, could be decompression bomb DOS attack.

If I know that this is not a DDOS attack, is there a way I can make exceptions for this?

Thanks so much!

Hi @kess-one, sorry for the late reply.

I have addressed the issue in the samapi version v0.6.0. ksugar/samapi#25

Please setting the PIL_MAX_IMAGE_PIXELS environment variable to see if this resolves the error.

In Linux and MacOS, you can set the environment variable as follows.

export PIL_MAX_IMAGE_PIXELS="" # or specific value (integer)

In Windows, you can set the environment variable as follows.

set PIL_MAX_IMAGE_PIXELS="" # or specific value (integer)
