Symptoms

Cause

The Sample image might have an extensive resolution. This is making it harder for FREngine to process it, and may cause the mentioned error. 

Resolution

In this case, a general recommendation will be to change the picture's resolution to a lower value.

Using the OverwriteResolution method and adjusting the resolution of input image to a desirable value.
