The suprathreshold visual complexity metric (Rspt) quantifies the perceived visual complexity of an image.

Rspt values of less than 100 mean that an image is visually not complex (simple), and Rspt values around more than 300 means that an image is complex.

The results are verified by a pyshcophysical experiment.
