This disclosure relates to methods, non-transitory computer readable media, and systems that analyze feature points of digital images to selectively apply a pixel-adjusted-gyroscope-alignment model and a feature-based-alignment model to align the digital images. For instance, the disclosed systems can select an appropriate alignment model based on feature-point-deficiency metrics specific to an input image and reference-input image. Moreover, in certain implementations, the pixel-adjusted-gyroscope-alignment model utilizes parameters from pixel-based alignment and gyroscope-based alignment to align such digital images. Together with the feature-based-alignment model, the disclosed methods, non-transitory computer readable media, and systems can use a selective image-alignment algorithm that improves computational efficiency, accuracy, and flexibility in generating enhanced digital images from a set of input images.
