Problem

Real manuscript scans routinely decode above 6000x6000 (36M pixels) —
e.g. a 6132x8176 page seen in a real predict run — and paco-classifier-service's
/classify endpoint hard-rejected anything over that with HTTP 413. That
made tasks_predict.py silently fall back to raw-page stave detection for a
large fraction of normal input, losing the point of the Paco layer-separation
step for those pages:

warning: Aarau_MsMurF2_8r.jpg: staffline classifier unavailable (paco-classifier-service
rejected the request (HTTP 413): decoded image 6132x8176 exceeds the 36000000-pixel limit)
— falling back to raw-image stave detection

Fix

recognition_engine.process_image_msae() already supports downscaling via
resize_ratio/max_dimension, and already restores the label map back to
the original resolution internally (image_scaling.py's
compute_scale_ratio/resize_image_down/restore_label_map) — but
main.py's /classify endpoint never passed either parameter.

  • MAX_DECODED_PIXELS (36M px) is now a downscale budget: anything over
    it gets a computed resize_ratio passed through to process_image_msae(),
    which downscales, classifies, and restores to the original resolution —
    callers see no change in output shape.
  • Added MAX_INPUT_PIXELS (144M px) as a much higher backstop: truly
    pathological uploads still 413 before any decode/resize work is spent on
    them.

Testing

Ran the service locally (python3.11 -m venv .venv && pip install -r requirements.txt,
weights present via the paco-classifier submodule's models_v4/):

  • Synced the local paco-classifier submodule checkout to the commit
    actually pinned by this repo (80bc1b5, the commit that added
    progress_callback support) to test against what's really referenced.
  • Under-budget image (800x1000) through the real /classify endpoint →
    HTTP 200, valid background/stafflines PNGs decoded, unaffected by this
    change (no resize path triggered).
  • Over-backstop image (13000x13000, 169M px) → HTTP 413 as expected.
  • Downscale + restore mechanism: called process_image_msae(..., resize_ratio=...)
    directly (the exact function/param main.py now uses) with a small image
    forced over a tiny test budget — confirmed it downscales internally
    (1000x800 → 258x206) and the returned label map is restored to the
    original 1000x800 shape.
  • The exact real-world failing case (6132x8176, ~50M px) no longer gets
    rejected (413 is gone — confirmed via the ratio math and the direct-library
    test above); a full realtime run through the live endpoint at that
    resolution was too slow to complete on this laptop's CPU (~140ms/patch ×
    ~1800 patches ≈ tens of minutes) — a hardware/TF-CPU-inference speed
    limitation unrelated to this fix, not something this change introduces.

No existing test suite covers paco-classifier-service (confirmed — no test
files in that directory), so nothing else needed updating.

Rollout

Requesting staging deploy first (workflow_dispatchci-cd on this branch)
before merging to main for production, per the repo's deploy docs.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Improvements
    • Large images within the supported input limit are now automatically downscaled for processing instead of being rejected.
    • Images exceeding the maximum supported size continue to receive a clear error response.
    • Classification results preserve the original image resolution for improved compatibility with larger scans.

…3-rejecting them

process_image_msae() already supports resize_ratio/max_dimension and restores the label map to the original resolution internally (image_scaling.py's compute_scale_ratio/resize_image_down/restore_label_map), but the /classify endpoint never used them - it just hard-rejected anything over 36M decoded pixels with HTTP 413. Real manuscript scans routinely exceed that (e.g. 6132x8176 ~= 50M px), so this silently fell back to raw-page stave detection for a large fraction of normal input instead of using the classifier at all.

Now: 36M px (MAX_DECODED_PIXELS) is a downscale budget, not a rejection threshold - anything over it gets a computed resize_ratio passed through to process_image_msae(). A much higher backstop ceiling (MAX_INPUT_PIXELS, 144M px) still 413s truly pathological uploads before the decode/resize work is spent on them.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The classifier now rejects decoded images only above MAX_INPUT_PIXELS. Images above MAX_DECODED_PIXELS are downscaled before classification, and process_image_msae() restores the label map to the original resolution.

Changes

Image scaling limits

Layer / File(s) Summary
Pixel limit contracts
paco-classifier-service/main.py
The service defines MAX_DECODED_PIXELS as the downscale budget and adds MAX_INPUT_PIXELS as the hard rejection limit.
Classification downscaling
paco-classifier-service/main.py
classify() computes resize_ratio for large images and passes it to process_image_msae() through the background _run() thread. The label-map comment reflects restored original resolution.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~15–30 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 82a23

The endpoint now downscales oversized images, but its new safety limit is checked only after full decoding. A highly compressed upload could therefore allocate excessive memory before rejection, creating a concrete availability risk; merge should wait for pre-decode enforcement or explicit owner acceptance.

Enforce MAX_INPUT_PIXELS before full image decode.

cv2.imdecode fully decodes uploads up to MAX_UPLOAD_BYTES before the pixel limit rejects them. This leaves decode memory unbounded for highly compressed images and conflicts with the documented safeguard. Use bounded metadata parsing for each supported format or a decoder that enforces the pixel ceiling before allocation. Keep the post-decode check as defence in depth. Add a test that proves cv2.imdecode is not called for an oversized image.
