Expected behaviour

I'm using ORB FE = cv2.ORB_create(self.MAX_FEATURES) as features extractor to do registration.

Actual behaviour

But when I call TargetKP, TargetDesc = FE.detectAndCompute(ImTarget, None), I get a segmentation fault error: Fatal Python error: Segmentation fault.

I have to use the option -X faulthandler to be able to find the line that generates this error, and it the one I mentioned above TargetKP, TargetDesc = FE.detectAndCompute(ImTarget, None), but I just get this line, nothing more, not trace.

Steps to reproduce

• example code
  FE = cv2.ORB_create(2013)
TargetKP, TargetDesc = FE.detectAndCompute(ImTarget, None)

ImTarget being a 23K x 29K pixels image encoded on 8 bits. For the record, it is dense with information as it is a tissues section, so full of overlapping cells.

• operating system Linux Centos 7
