Hi @gaurav_singhal,

1. Yes, we are working on it and this should be the case with Round 2 mostly.

2. You ideally shouldn’t need to worry about it, with the new timeout logic.
   BUT if you still want to handle it manually:

   • You can read image metadata using PIL/exif, etc in your submission and ignore those files.
     
     NOTE: This process will give you accurate file dimensions, etc but don’t try to load images again and again, because it might reduce your performance during prediction. In case you are loading an image, you can potentially send it across as an image (and not only filename) to inference. You might need to check MMdetection’s interfaces for it.
     
     
   • Another approach that might not be 100% reliable but way faster – check the file’s size using os. stat or so, and get a rough estimate about the image dimensions, and skip it accordingly.
