QImage: out of memory, returning null image,How slove the this problem?

[hurely]

When running the application,The Application Output often output the information about "QImage: out of memory, returning null image",BTW,the application could run successfully.The involved code like this :
uchar *pBuffer = new uchar[size];//the size very large
QImage dataImg(pBuffer, width, height, QImage::Format_RGB888);//one image size is about 110M
emit sendImage(dataImg);
//the above code in the standalone thread
//receive the signal in the UI thread, when the error come out, I lost the Image.
// Also, I try emit the pBuffer, construct the image in UI thread, but not helping, same problem.

@hurely Do you write anything into pBuffer?
"the size very large" - how large?
What are the values for width and height?
Also do you free the memory at some point (pBuffer, QImage will not free it as described in the documentation)?

Thanks for reply!!!
The size of image, about 110M. width:7376, height:4928.
The pBuffer receive the RAW data from camera, so Image is large.
I have already tried to free the memory after "emit sendImage(dataImg);",but UI show nothing, seem like that lost the image.

@hurely You should not free the memory as long as the image is used as this buffer is used by QImage as stated in the documentation.

Hi,

In addition to what @jsulm wrote:

• On what platform are you running your application on ?
• What's the FPS ?
• What are the specs of the device/machine you are running your application on ?

@SGaist Thanks for your reply!!!
The Development Platform is PC windows 7 and running application on this platform.
The FPS is about 5.
I have already tested that showed one image on UI, the error didn't come out.
I think the FPS is the key to this error, Is it too fast about emitting the QImage to UI thread?

Well, it depends on several factors. What else does your application do ? What else consumes memory ? Are you running a 32bit application ?
