System and method for improving the clarity of overlapping objects

A system configured to display a text string and associated content, the system comprising:

• memory storing executable instructions;
• and
• a processing device executing the executable instructions, wherein the executable instructions, when executed by the processing device, configure the system to:
• receive, by the processing device, visual content data representing an associated content renderable into pixel values;
• receive, by the processing device, a text string that overlaps an airspace of the associated content;
• calculate, by a clarity scoring module, a baseline combined clarity score using one or more algorithms selected from a group comprising text readability algorithms and text identifiability algorithms, wherein the baseline combined clarity score is based on a baseline clarity score of the text string and a baseline clarity score of the associated content;
• recreate, in a virtual environment, a representation of the text string and the associated content;
• for each candidate adaptation in a set of one or more candidate adaptations to the text string:
• apply, in the virtual environment, the candidate adaptation to the text string, wherein the text string having the candidate adaptation overlaps the airspace of the associated content;
• calculate, by the clarity scoring module, a new combined clarity score using one or more algorithms selected from a group comprising text readability algorithms and text identifiability algorithms, wherein the new combined clarity score is based on a new clarity score of the text string having the candidate adaptation and a new clarity score of the associated content;
• select, by the clarity scoring module, from the set of one or more candidate adaptations, a selected adaptation that yields a new combined clarity score greater than the baseline combined clarity score;
• render, by a rendering module, the text string having the selected adaptation and the associated content;
• and
• display, on an electronic display, the text string having the selected adaptation and the associated content.

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

• receiving, by the one or more processors, visual content data representing an associated content renderable into pixel values;
• receiving, by the one or more processors, a text string that overlaps an airspace of the associated content;
• calculating, by a clarity scoring module, a baseline combined clarity score using one or more algorithms selected from a group comprising text readability algorithms and text identifiability algorithms, wherein the baseline combined clarity score is based on a baseline clarity score of the text string and a baseline clarity score of the associated content;
• recreating, in a virtual environment, a representation of the text string and the associated content;
• for each candidate adaptation in a set of one or more candidate adaptations to the text string:
• applying, in the virtual environment, the candidate adaptation to the text string, wherein the text string having the candidate adaptation overlaps the airspace of the associated content;
• calculating, by the clarity scoring module, a new combined clarity score using one or more algorithms selected from a group comprising text readability algorithms and text identifiability algorithms, wherein the new combined clarity score is based on a new clarity score of the text string having the candidate adaptation and a new clarity score of the associated content;
• selecting, by the clarity scoring module, from the set of one or more candidate adaptations, a selected adaptation that yields a new combined clarity score greater than the baseline combined clarity score;
• rendering, by a rendering module, the text string having the selected adaptation and the associated content;
• and
• displaying, on an electronic display, the text string having the selected adaptation and the associated content.
