im_browser does not start
- Check im_browser directories in Matlab path: File->Set path.... If they are missing, add them with ->Add with Subfolders-> Save.
- Delete old configuration file. For Windows: c:\tmp\im_browser.mat, or C:\Users\User-name\AppData\Local\Temp\im_browser.mat; for Linux in the script directory.
Out of memory
When working with large datasets it is normal to experience shortage of available memory. The following recommendations could be considered:
- Use 64-bit operating system. The 32-bit operating system can use only up to 3.25 Gb.
- Use 8-bit datasets. Convert from 16-bit to 8-bit via Menu->Image->Mode->8 bit.
- Use Models with 63 maximal materials, Menu->File->Preferences->Models->Maximal number of Materials in a model->63.
- Lower number of 3D Undo steps in the Menu->File->Preference dialog.
- Lower number of maximal steps to keep in the Undo history Menu->File->Preference dialog.
- Completely disable Undo history in the Menu->File->Preference dialog.
- Turn off Selection layer from the Disable selection option of the Menu->File->Preference dialog. Note! when the Selection layer is switched off it is not possible to do the segmentation.
Fiji: reports Java3D is not installed.
Most likely there are no write permissions to some folders required for automatic installation of Fiji 3D viewer. Please check carefully the Matlab command window, where Fiji reports required directories.
For example in standard case the following directories should have write permissions:
- C:\Program Files\MATLAB\MATLAB Compiler Runtime\v81\sys\java\jre\win64\jre\lib\ext
- C:\Program Files\MATLAB\MATLAB Compiler Runtime\v81\sys\java\jre\win64\jre\bin
Fiji: Failed to retrieve Exception Message
If the Failed to retrieve Exception Message error appears, please increase the heap space for the Java VM in Matlab, see details here.
For example, rendering of 1818x1022x717 volume requires 4Gb heap size.
