A feasibility study on filtering low-accessibility web pages considering color vision deficiency
This study addresses the challenge of color accessibility for users with color vision deficiencies when browsing the web by proposing a machine learning–based automatic filtering approach. It pioneers the use of predictive modeling to identify and exclude webpages that violate Color Universal Design (CUD) principles, thereby exhibiting low accessibility. The method integrates CUD guidelines into a tailored evaluation metric, and experiments on 21 real-world webpages demonstrate that the model achieves a maximum AUC of 0.76, confirming the feasibility of automatically enhancing web color accessibility. This work offers a scalable technical pathway and practical insights for improving information accessibility for individuals with color vision deficiencies.
