I’m trying to tile the images during inference, but this options does nothing and takes the image in its original form. Am i doing something really dumb here?

base64 YOUR\_IMAGE.jpg | curl -d @-

"[https://detect.roboflow.com/upvi2/4](https://detect.roboflow.com/upvi2/4)?

api\_key=EMHT&tile=640"

Hey @Fleeing_Dutchman

The tile parameter is not supported in our hosted inference API. If you were doing this in reference to [this blog post](https://blog.roboflow.com/edge-tiling-during-inference/), we were recently made aware of this and updated the post. Learn more [how to use SAHI](https://blog.roboflow.com/how-to-use-sahi-to-detect-small-objects/) in this blog post!

Thanks, does SAHI works for Instance Segmentation projects too or is it limited to Object Detection models only?

Hi @Fleeing_Dutchman

Yes, it’s possible. In the latest version of [Supervision](https://github.com/roboflow/supervision), which the blog post linked uses, SAHI or InferenceSlicing (as it’s called in supervision) for instance segmentation is supported.
