Can't enable face detection on esp32 cam : CORRUPT HEAP: Bad head at 0x3ffe2eb4. Expected 0xabba1234 got 0x00000008 abor

I was trying to make esp32 face recognition using the esp32 camera web server example in arduino , and everything works fine untill i press on face detection the frame is frozen , module restarted and put this error to serial monitor :

Code: Select all

I tried erasing flash bt it made the same error again I am using Arduino IDE 1.8.12 , esp32-cam operating at 5 volts from the programmer (also tried other external power supplies) and these are the pictures of settings : (also used wrover kit in programming settings with huge app >3mb)

hello please did you get a solution please

That's a memory corruption error. Check your code, you may be doing something like writing too much data to a buffer or re-using an already free'ed buffer.

You can try reducing the resolution or frame rate of the camera to see if it helps. It could be that you are running out of memory due to the large amount of data being processed.
