buddies,
In a collection of blurred videos, i suppose to measure the amount of blur in each videos so that to inform which one is affected with more blur artifact.. lik the video 1 affected with avg 60% of blur and 2nd with avg 10%...How can i measure it?.. Is it right to measure using contrast level of video?.. Do u suggest any other method?.. whatever the method briely explain me with code?..
Help me to enhance my interest in video analysis..

ThankS

You can't do it, unless you know the ground truth or make some
assumptions about it.. What if you have a very smooth image, say an
in-focus image of a painted wall. That may be more in focus, and have
a narrower histogram, than a blurred version of a crowd of people. So
if you have a smooth scene, how can you tell if it's blurry or just
naturally smooth? You can't. Maybe you could make some assumptions
on what the ground truth is. But best is if you know what your in
focus scene looks like.

Ah, but what if there are multiple types of blur in your video? Do you want
to know the amount of each type of blur separately, or just the total amount
of blur? For example, here's one video with multiple types of blur:
