Question

Why do I get the Error: "Error. Label image failed. Cannot add sample - tool memory limit reached." when trying to add another image to the ViDi EL Anomaly Detect Tool samples?

Answer

The maximum number of labelled images per tool instance is 36.

Note that since the tool relies solely on OK samples for training, a larger number (5-15 based on the application) of good images is typically required to capture normal variation accurately compared to other Edge Learning tools. For this reason, consistent fixturing is critical to make sure inspections are performed from the same perspective, enabling the tool to learn meaningful differences between samples.
