Estimate strength of blur
=========================

This example shows how the metric implemented in ``measure.blur_effect``
behaves, both as a function of the strength of blur and of the size of the
re-blurring filter. This no-reference perceptual blur metric is described in
[1]_.

# ================

# increase towards 1 with increasing blur strength. We compute it for three
# different values of re-blurring filter: 3, 11 (default), and 30.

#####################################################################
# We can see that as soon as the blur is stronger than (reaches the scale of)
# the size of the uniform filter, the metric gets close to 1 and, hence, tends
# asymptotically to 1 with increasing blur strength.
# The value of 11 pixels gives a blur metric which correlates best with human
# perception. That's why it's the default value in the implementation of the
# perceptual blur metric ``measure.blur_effect``.
