Auto-Detecting blurry regions of an image

Viewed 4407

I am working on images that are partially blur on some sections. These are noises that should be taken care of, but here is the problem:

Are there methods to detect whether an image is blur or partially blur at some sections of an image? For instance, take a look at sample image below:

blur test

You can see in the image that there are 3 sections that are visually blur: bottom-left, near center region and top-right. Now, is it possible to detect that any portion of an image is blur programming-wise or mathematically?
