Abstract

We present, in this paper, a comparative analysis of the letters in Times New Roman (TNR), Courier New (CN) and Arial (Ar) font types in plain and italic style and the effects of five foreground/background color combinations using an invariant digital correlation system with a nonlinear filter with k = 0.3. The evaluation of the output plane with this filter is given by the peak-to-correlation energy (PCE) metric. The results show that the letters in TNR font have a better mean PCE value when compared with the CN and Ar fonts. This result is in agreement with some studies on text legibility and for readability where the reaction time (RT) of some participant individuals reading a text is measured. We conclude that the PCE metric is proportional to 1/RT.
