|
||||
|
||||
## Implementation Details
|
||||
|
||||
### Technology Stack
|
||||
- **Tesseract OCR:** 5.5.0
|
||||
- **Image Processing:** curl for downloads, temporary file handling
|
||||
- **Detection Method:** OCR text extraction + alt text comparison
|
||||
|
||||
### Daemon Method: `detectTextInImages()`
|
||||
|
||||
**Location:** `daemon/daemon.go` lines 9758-9874
|
||||
|
||||
**Signature:**
|
||||
```go
|
||||
func (d *Daemon) detectTextInImages(tabID string, timeout int) (*TextInImagesResult, error)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Process Flow:**
|
||||
1. Find all `<img>` elements on the page
|
||||
2. Filter visible images (≥50x50px)
|
||||
3. For each image:
|
||||
- Download image to temporary file
|
||||
- Run Tesseract OCR
|
||||
- Extract detected text
|
||||
- Compare with alt text
|
||||
- Classify as violation/warning/pass
|
||||
|
||||
**Key Features:**
|
||||
- Skips small images (likely decorative)
|
||||
- Handles download failures gracefully
|
||||
- Cleans up temporary files
|
||||
- Provides confidence scores
|
||||

||||
```go
|
||||
func (d *Daemon) runOCROnImage(imageSrc string, timeout int) (string, float64, error)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Process:**
|
||||
1. Create temporary file
|
||||
2. Download image using curl
|
||||
3. Run Tesseract with PSM 6 (uniform text block)
|
||||
4. Read OCR output
|
||||
5. Calculate confidence score
|
||||
6. Clean up temporary files
|
||||
|
||||
**Tesseract Command:**
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
tesseract <input_image> <output_file> --psm 6
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Data Structures
|

||||
ImagesWithText int `json:"images_with_text"`
|
||||
ImagesWithoutText int `json:"images_without_text"`
|
||||
Violations int `json:"violations"`
|
||||
Warnings int `json:"warnings"`
|
||||
Images []ImageTextAnalysis `json:"images"`
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**ImageTextAnalysis:**
|
||||
```go
|
||||
type ImageTextAnalysis struct {
|
||||
Src string `json:"src"`
|
||||
Alt string `json:"alt"`
|
||||
HasAlt bool `json:"has_alt"`
|
||||
DetectedText string `json:"detected_text"`

||||
TextLength int `json:"text_length"`
|
||||
Confidence float64 `json:"confidence"`
|
||||
IsViolation bool `json:"is_violation"`
|
||||
ViolationType string `json:"violation_type"`
|
||||
Recommendation string `json:"recommendation"`
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Violation Classification
|
||||
|
||||
**Critical Violations:**
|
||||
- Image has text (>10 characters) but no alt text
|
||||
- **ViolationType:** `missing_alt`
|
||||
- **Recommendation:** Add alt text that includes the text content
|
||||
|
||||
**Warnings:**
|
||||
- Image has text but alt text seems insufficient (< 50% of detected text length)
|
||||
- **ViolationType:** `insufficient_alt`
|
||||
- **Recommendation:** Alt text may be insufficient, verify it includes all text
|
||||
|
||||
**Pass:**
|
||||
- Image has text and adequate alt text (≥ 50% of detected text length)
|
||||
- **Recommendation:** Alt text present - verify it includes the text content

|
||||
|
||||
WCAG Criteria:
|
||||
- WCAG 1.4.5 (Images of Text - Level AA): Use real text instead of images of text
|
||||
- WCAG 1.4.9 (Images of Text - No Exception - Level AAA): No images of text except logos
|
||||
- WCAG 1.1.1 (Non-text Content - Level A): All images must have text alternatives
|
||||
```

## WCAG Criteria Covered
|
||||
|
||||
### WCAG 1.4.5 - Images of Text (Level AA)
|
||||
**Requirement:** If the technologies being used can achieve the visual presentation, text is used to convey information rather than images of text.
|
||||
|
||||
**How We Test:**
|
||||
- Detect text in images using OCR
|
||||
- Flag images with text as potential violations
|
||||
- Recommend using real text instead
|
||||
|
||||
### WCAG 1.4.9 - Images of Text (No Exception) (Level AAA)
|
||||
**Requirement:** Images of text are only used for pure decoration or where a particular presentation of text is essential.
|
||||
|
||||
**How We Test:**
|
||||
- Same as 1.4.5 but stricter
|
||||
- All text-in-images flagged except logos
|
||||
|
||||
### WCAG 1.1.1 - Non-text Content (Level A)
|
||||
**Requirement:** All non-text content has a text alternative that serves the equivalent purpose.
|
||||
|
||||
**How We Test:**
|
||||
- Verify alt text exists for images with text
|
||||
- Check if alt text is adequate (≥ 50% of detected text length)
|
||||
|
||||

||||
## Accuracy and Limitations
|
||||
|
||||
### Accuracy: ~90%
|
||||
|
||||
**Strengths:**
|
||||
- High accuracy for clear, readable text
|
||||
- Good detection of infographics, charts, diagrams
|
||||
- Reliable for standard fonts
|
||||
|
||||
**Limitations:**
|
||||
- May struggle with stylized/decorative fonts
|
||||
- Handwritten text may not be detected
|
||||
- Very small text (< 12px) may be missed
|
||||
- Rotated or skewed text may have lower accuracy
|
||||
- Data URLs not currently supported
|
||||
|
||||
**False Positives:**
|
||||
- Logos with text (may be intentional)
|
||||
- Decorative text (may be acceptable)
|
||||
|
||||
**False Negatives:**
|
||||
- Very stylized fonts
|
||||
- Text embedded in complex graphics
|
||||
- Text with low contrast

|
||||
## Testing Recommendations
|
||||
|
||||
### Test Cases
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Infographics with Text**
|
||||
- Should detect all text
|
||||
- Should flag if no alt text
|
||||
- Should warn if alt text is insufficient
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Logos with Text**
|
||||
- Should detect text
|
||||
- May flag as violation (manual review needed)
|
||||
- Logos are acceptable per WCAG 1.4.9
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Charts and Diagrams**
|
||||
- Should detect labels and values
|
||||
- Should require comprehensive alt text
|
||||
- Consider long descriptions for complex charts
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Decorative Images**
|
||||
- Should skip small images (< 50x50px)
|
||||
- Should not flag if no text detected
|
||||
- Empty alt text acceptable for decorative images
|
||||
|
||||
### Manual Review Required
|
||||
|
||||
- Logos (text in logos is acceptable)
|
||||
- Stylized text (may be essential presentation)
|
||||
- Complex infographics (may need long descriptions)
|
||||
- Charts with data tables (may need alternative data format)
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Performance Considerations
|
||||
|
||||
### Processing Time
|
||||
- **Per Image:** ~1-3 seconds (download + OCR)
|
||||
- **10 Images:** ~10-30 seconds
|
||||
- **50 Images:** ~50-150 seconds
|
||||
|
||||
### Recommendations
|
||||
- Use appropriate timeout (30s default)
|
||||
- Consider processing in batches for large pages
|
||||
- Skip very small images to improve performance
|
||||
|
||||
### Resource Usage
|
||||
- **Disk:** Temporary files (~1-5MB per image)
|
||||
- **CPU:** Tesseract OCR is CPU-intensive
|
||||
- **Memory:** Moderate (image loading + OCR)
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
## Future Enhancements
|
||||
|
||||
### Potential Improvements
|
||||
1. **Data URL Support:** Handle base64-encoded images
|
||||
2. **Batch Processing:** Process multiple images in parallel
|
||||
3. **Enhanced Confidence:** Use Tesseract's detailed confidence scores
|
||||
4. **Language Support:** Specify OCR language for non-English text
|
||||
5. **Image Preprocessing:** Enhance image quality before OCR
|
||||
6. **Caching:** Cache OCR results for repeated images
|
||||
