Implementations generally relate to optimizing a photo album layout. In some implementations, a method includes receiving a plurality of images and determining a target arrangement. The method also includes arranging the plurality of images in an N-dimensional arrangement based on a predetermined distance function. The method also includes arranging the plurality of images in the target arrangement based on the N-dimensional arrangement.

Optimizing photo album layouts

Implementations relate to estimating noise in images using a polynomial relationship for pixel values of image features. In some implementations, a computer-implemented method to estimate noise in an image includes determining a plurality of patches of pixels in the image. For each patch of pixels, the method determines feature pixels in the patch that are included in a particular image feature at least partially depicted in the patch. The method determines an error estimate for each patch of pixels, where each error estimate is based on an amount by which pixel values of the feature pixels in the patch of pixels are different from an estimated polynomial relationship between the feature pixels in the patch of pixels. One of the error estimates is selected as a noise level estimate for the image.

Noise estimation for images using polynomial relationship for pixel values of image features

Implementations generally relate to color corrections to photos. In some implementations, a method includes determining a face profile from a plurality of photos of a face. The method further includes receiving a target photo of the face. The method further includes matching the face in the target photo with the face in the plurality of photos. The method further includes performing one or more color adjustments to the face in the target photo based on the face profile.
