Someone knows or can provide some link? How much MPix?
The rough *lower* estimate is: MPix pixels * 4 channels/pixel * 4 byte/channel * 3 The three is: input image + output image + some processing buffers. "processing buffers" depends on a module, and may be much larger than 1. For ~25MPix, ~3GB of memory **available to dt** is the sane minimum.
