I have a feeling there is probably a 'proper' way to do this but
perhaps you could use something like Sobel edge detection filter
(http://idlastro.gsfc.nasa.gov/idl_html_help/SOBEL.html) which
calculates the magnitude of the gradients in the image. Sharper lines
I would think have a larger gradients than blurred areas so perhaps a
difference between the Sobel detected 'improved' image and the Sobel
detected original image may give some indication? I'm not sure if
you'd have to average the result somehow because of the blurring
itself though...
