Abstract—Determination of quality of an image is a very challenging task and is very important for modern image processing applications. One of the most common distortions in images is blurring. For a human visual system excessive blurring in an image is not visually pleasing and creates difficulty in identifying objects. In this paper we propose a quality measure which is calculated in spatial domain to determine the quality of blurred images.

Index Terms—image quality assessment, blurring, no-reference, sharpness, human visual system.
