Sam Ruby and Dan Connolly asked me to send proposed issue closures in individual emails, with clear subject lines, and Cc'd to the issue originator when possible. Apologies for the spam. If there are no objections, I will close this issue on 2009-09-03. ------------ ISSUE-66: image analysis heuristics http://www.w3.org/html/wg/tracker/issues/66 This issue raises an objection that is editorial in nature, and I do not believe it will have a material effect on normative requirements. Since being raised, this issue has not drawn any further discussion, nor had any actions assigned. I suggest that discussion of editorial text should just be done on the list and bugzilla - this doesn't seem important enough to block Last Call. Further, I believe the premise of the objection is false. The objection categorically says that state-of-the-art image analysis heuristics cannot recover useful information from an image, "not even close". There exist optical character recognition algorithms that could recover text from an image of text with high probability of success. There are also image analysis algorithms that can detect specific features with fairly good accuracy. For references see <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_vision >. I believe the current state of research is beyond what is descried in that article and at the links. Regards, Maciej
