Developed an efficient method for effectively estimating the sharpness/blurriness of document and scene images. The proposed method can be used to compute the sharpness in scenarios where images are blurred due to camera-motion (or hand-shake), de-focus, or inherent properties of the imaging system. I implemented the method in C++/Java on Android platform. Developed an efficient method for effectively estimating the sharpness/blurriness of document and scene images.
