I have a web site with a lot of web-pages and images. I created the sitemaps (grouped into single sitemaps index file). I submitted those sitemaps to Google but the indexing process is disappointingly slow:

Web-pages and images submitting ad indexing

Sitemaps was submitted on Feb. 4th. Submitting process started on Feb. 8th and so on:

02/09/2014 - Indexed 187 images
02/10/2014 - 956
02/11/2014 - 1180
02/12/2014 - 1196
02/13/2014 - 1198
02/14/2014 - 1192 (!!!)
02/15/2014 - 561 (!!!)
02/16/2014 - 1144
02/17/2014 - 1144

So the images indexing process is weird.

However the crawling process look much more attractive and promising:

Do I need to wait some extra time? Or do I need to take some actions to help Google to index my web-site correctly?

There is no way to "force" Google to index anything. The best that you can do is make it easy for Google to index your content and gain reputation.

Providing a sitemap, will tell Google about the content, but to get it indexed you need to get link juice to it as well. See The Sitemap Paradox for further reading. You need inbound links into your site, and then your site needs to link to all the content internally.

There is just no way that Google will index hundreds of thousands of items from a brand new site with no reputation. You will only get that much content indexed with time and many other sites linking to recommend your site.
