  • Patent number: 11775139
    Abstract: Implementations are related to providing image selection suggestions. In some implementations, a method includes receiving first user input indicative of selection of one or more first images in an image library and determining one or more first image characteristics of the one or more first images. The method further includes identifying one or more second images in the image library. Each image of the one or more second images is associated with at least one second image characteristic that matches at least one of the one or more first image characteristics. The method further includes causing a user interface to be displayed. The user interface includes the one or more second images and enables selection of the one or more second images by a user.

  • Patent number: 11483463
    Abstract: Some implementations relate to determining whether glare is present in captured image(s) of an object (e.g., a photo) and/or to determining one or more attributes of any present glare. Some of those implementations further relate to adapting one or more parameters for a glare removal process based on whether the glare is determined to be present and/or based on one or more of the determined attributes of any glare determined to be present. Some additional and/or alternative implementations disclosed herein relate to correcting color of a flash image of an object (e.g., a photo). The flash image is based on one or more images captured by a camera of a client device with a flash component of the client device activated. In various implementations, correcting the color of the flash image is based on a determined color space of an ambient image of the object.

  • Patent number: 10531061
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes capturing, with a camera, a first image of a physical item at a first camera position, detecting borders associated with the physical item, based on the first image, generating an overlay that includes a plurality of objects that are positioned within one or more of the borders associated with the physical item, capturing, with the camera, subsequent images of the physical item, where each subsequent image is captured with a respective subsequent camera position, and during capture of the subsequent images, displaying an image preview that includes the overlay. The method further includes establishing correspondence between pixels of the first image and pixels of each of the subsequent images and generating a composite image of the physical item, where each pixel value of the composite image is based on corresponding pixel values of the first image and the subsequent images.
