What does this matlab error mean

I was trying to run a program in `matlab` where I have used `imdilate`, but got the following error which I actually didn't understand:

visible ?? Error using ==> morphmex Out of memory. Type HELP MEMORY for your options.

    Error in ==> morphop at 69
        B = morphmex(mex_method, B, double(getnhood(se(k))), getheight(se(k)), unpacked_M);

    Error in ==> imdilate at 121
    B = morphop(A,se,'dilate',mfilename,varargin{:});

What is the cause of such error? How can I go around it?

Thanks.

How large are the input data?

Hi,

The matrix you are trying to build is too large. If you are using a 32 bits version of MATLAB, you can install a 64 bits one on a 64 bits OS and it should solve it. Another solution is to increase your RAM.

You don't show the actual call to imdilate. Show your code where you call imdilate. Copy and paste all the red text that you see. Don't omit any code, and don't paraphrase. Just copy and paste. ANd also do "whos" on the variable you're passing into imdilate() so we can see the size of it. It's not a color image is it? Are you sure?
