Generating a composite image from a physical item

A non-transitory computer readable medium with instructions that, when executed by one or more computers, cause the one or more computers to perform operations, the operations comprising:

• capturing a first image of a physical photograph with a camera;
• detecting borders associated with edges of the physical photograph;
• based on the first image, generating an overlay that includes a reticle and a plurality of objects that are positioned within one or more of the borders associated with the physical photograph;
• capturing subsequent images of the physical photograph, wherein each subsequent image is captured with a respective subsequent camera position;
• during capture of the subsequent images, providing the first image with the overlay, wherein:
• the plurality of objects remain fixed in the overlay as the camera is moved,
• the reticle moves responsive to moving the camera,
• the subsequent images are captured responsive to at least a portion of the reticle overlapping with an object of the plurality of objects,
• in response to a predetermined number of captures of subsequent images at each respective subsequent camera position, the object is updated, and
• a completion of capture occurs responsive to moving the camera until the plurality of objects are updated;
• establishing correspondence between pixels of the first image and pixels of each of the subsequent images;
• and
• generating a composite image of the physical photograph, wherein each pixel value of the composite image is based on corresponding pixel values of the first image and the subsequent images.

A system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• a memory that stores instructions executable by the one or more processors that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
• receiving, from a camera, a first image of a physical photograph at a first camera position;
• detecting borders associated with edges of the physical photograph;
• 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 photograph;
• receiving, from the camera, subsequent images of the physical photograph, wherein each subsequent image is captured with a respective subsequent camera position;
• during capture of the subsequent images, displaying an image preview that includes the overlay, wherein:
• the plurality of objects remains fixed in the overlay as the camera is moved;
• in response to a predetermined number of captures of subsequent images at each respective subsequent camera position, an attribute of an object of the plurality of objects is updated;
• and
• updating the attribute of the plurality of objects corresponds to a completion of capture;
• establishing correspondence between pixels of the first image and pixels of each of the subsequent images;
• and
• generating a composite image of the physical photograph, wherein each pixel value of the composite image is based on corresponding pixel values of the first image and the subsequent images and the composite image depicts reduced or eliminated glare that occurs when capturing one or more of the first image and the subsequent images.
