Abstract

Disclosed herein are system, method and computer readable storage medium for detecting space suitable for overlaying media content onto an image. The system receives a candidate image which may be an image or a video frame. The candidate image is then input into a neural network. The neural network may output coordinates and one or more dimensions representing one or more bounding boxes for inserting media content into the candidate image. The one or more bounding boxes may be transmitted with a request for a media content item to be displayed in a bounding box. In response to the request the media content item may be received, and the candidate image and the media content item overlaid on top of the candidate image within the bounding box may be displayed.
