PermGen space has to do with loading the Java classes. More than the image, the
code you are running might give us some clues for this issue. In particular are you
using other Java components like MATLAB graphical interfaces? How many images
are you loading before running into this issue?

-Xmx512m will set the Java heap size and should address other MATLAB errors that
look like:

java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space

For this error, something you could try as a workaround is setting the PermSize as
well in the same java.opts file, e.g. adding a line like

-XX:PermSize=512m

Let us know if this solves your problem,
