The present invention discloses a test method for image sharpness, which
can instantly determine the sharpness of a captured image, wherein a
captured image is firstly divided into multiple blocks with each block
composed of multiple pixels; in each block of the captured image, the
pixels having higher sharpnesses are selected, and the sharpnesses of
those pixels are summed up to be the sharpness of the related block; the
estimated sharpness of the captured image is also obtained similarly; and
the estimated sharpness is compared with a threshold value to determine
whether the captured image is sharp enough. Thereby, the present
invention can test the sharpness of an image fast and correctly and
inform the user of the status of the captured image and provide the user
with corresponding suggestions.
