[Insight-users] memory handling in data pipeline

[Luis Ibanez]

Hi David,

Every filter in the pipeline allocates memory for its own output image.

Therefore if you have an input image and a pipeline with 5 filter,
then you can easily end up using 6 time the memory of the input image.

Image memory is not share, except when you explicitly use "InPlace"
filters.


    Regards,


        Luis
