Abstract:
A method of providing a sharpness measure for an image comprises detecting an object region within an image; obtaining meta-data for the image; and scaling the chosen object region to a fixed size. A gradient map is calculated for the scaled object region and compared against a threshold determined for the image to provide a filtered gradient map of values exceeding the threshold. The threshold for the image is a function of at least: a contrast level for the detected object region, a distance to the subject and an ISO/gain used for image acquisition. A sharpness measure for the object region is determined as a function of the filtered gradient map values, the sharpness measure being proportional to the filtered gradient map values.

Claim (Index 10):
A method according to  claim 9  wherein the sharpness measure is proportional to the threshold measure for the object region.
