خلاصه	Icon Usability Testing is a systematic method for evaluating how well users understand the meaning of graphical icons and symbols. By combining comprehension testing, task performance measurement, and preference assessment, this pipeline ensures that icons effectively communicate their intended functions across diverse user populations.	Visual Saliency Mapping is a computational method for predicting where viewers naturally direct their attention within an image. Grounded in neuroscience and vision science, this pipeline generates attention heat maps that reveal which image regions are most visually compelling, surprising, or distinctive.
