Welcome to Salience. These Terms & Conditions govern your use of this website and its image-analysis tools. By using the site, you agree to these terms.

1. What Salience is

Salience is a photographic analysis tool. It generates visual outputs such as heatmaps and scanpaths to suggest likely attention patterns in an image.

These outputs are intended for visual education, composition analysis, and creative exploration. They do not represent fixed or universal viewer behaviour.

You agree not to:

We may limit or suspend access if misuse or abuse is detected.

3. Your images

You retain ownership of the images you upload.

By uploading an image, you confirm that you have the right to use it for analysis through this site.

Salience processes uploaded images only to provide the requested analysis results, subject to the site’s Privacy page.

4. Results and accuracy

Salience provides predictive visual outputs based on vision-science models.

The results are indicative only. They suggest likely attention patterns and eye movement, but they are not guarantees, measurements of actual viewer behaviour, or judgments of artistic quality.

Salience is provided on an as-available basis.

We may change, pause, limit, or discontinue any part of the site at any time, including features, analysis limits, and availability, without notice.

Salience is provided for informational and creative use.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Salience is provided without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We are not liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or special loss arising from use of the site.

Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot legally be excluded under applicable law.
