Image description
An image description is a form of text-based description referring to the characteristics of an image. Alt text presents visual information via text (usually encoded in HTML code), primarily to aid blind people using screen readers so they may have access and interact with the visual.

Self description
To provide visual access for people who are blind or with other disabilities, a self-description is the short explanation of an individual's physical appearance and identity characteristics declared at the start of group meetings, seminars, panel discussions, or general introductory protocol. It usually consists of one's name, gender and ethnic identity, visible qualities and more.
