1. A method for content-aware type-on-path generation, wherein the method is implemented via a computing system comprising a processor, and wherein the method comprises:
surfacing an image via a graphics graphical user interface (GUI) of a graphics application;
detecting a salient object within the image using a convolutional neural network (CNN) model;
generating a contour map for the detected salient object;
generating a path along contours of the salient object by applying a defined offset to the contour map; and
applying input text characters as type-on-path along the generated path based at least on user input received via the graphics GUI.
