Abstract
Systems and methods herein provide a photospread engine and its related functions. In an example, a method includes identifying, by a photospread engine, images for a photospread and determining image areas based on the plurality of images. Each of the image areas may correspond to a respective image. The photospread engine may also determine a center point for each image area and then minimize a loss function for the image areas. The loss function may correspond to an overlap loss for an overlap area between the image areas and a spreading loss for a distance sum between the center point of each image area and a centroid of the image areas. The photospread engine may generate a photospread including the images on a canvas based on optimizing the loss function for the image areas.
