Abstract
The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and non-transitory computer readable media for generating modified video content to reduce depth conflicts between user interface elements and video objects. For example, the disclosed systems can analyze an input video to identify feature points that designate objects within the input video and to determine the depths of the identified feature points. In addition, the disclosed systems can compare the depths of the feature points with a depth of a user interface element to determine whether there are any depth conflicts. In response to detecting a depth conflict, the disclosed systems can modify the depth of the user interface element to reduce or avoid the depth conflict. Furthermore, the disclosed systems can apply a blurring effect to an area around a user interface element to reduce the effect of depth conflicts.
