Project Title
Improving subtitle visibility in low budget movies
Introduction
The main goal of our project was to develop a program in MATLAB that achieves visually pleasing viewing properties of a given subtitle and frame (picture) combination. Although the best solution is to have real people go through a movie, frame by frame, and decide what viewing properties for the subtitles makes them most visible, developing an automated solution may be the next best thing. In addition, many foreign films may not have the budget to have individual people review the movie as this is a tedious task.
The viewing properties of the subtitle that our program analyzed were location, shadow, and color. For the color our program uses the CIELAB metric of deltaE as a proxy for the "correct" color. Color theory states that the larger the deltaE between two objects, the more discernible they are. In this situation we analyzed the average delta e difference between text and other pixels in the textbox. One of our major goals was to answer the question: do larger deltaE difference's appear more visually appealing to the viewer or do more subjective factors dominate?
