i was thinking on the same lines before, and right now my code mimics the behavior you mentioned. However, today i came across this corbola timeline, which made me tweak my code again. So if there was a better way to know which images to disregard, i could do a better structuring of my code.
Thanks for such fast responses. really appreciate the comments. :)

so is it fair to assume that latex math equations rendered as images do not have a image description page? Is there any list of image types or some way to verify or know which kind of images will not have image description page? I also saw a couple of graphs associated with imagemap didnt have image description pages. for ex: the chart on the page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corbola
I noticed all the images for which I wasnt able to find image description pages had names which looked like some sort of hash....basically names consisting of 32 characters using numbers 0-9 and alphabets a-z with extension png. Am I correctly identifying the images without image description pages this way?
You could use image classes to do it. The latex-generated images are marked with <img class="tex" ...>, and the image source is from http://upload.wikimedia.org/math/. Normal images (with description pages etc) have class="image" & a source of, say, http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/.
The timeline ones (which is the code used for the Corbola graph) have source of http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/timeline/ and use a <map> tag rather than an image source, which I hadn't seen before.
