I'm a total amateur here when it comes to this subject, but I guess that you can't easily detect depth of focus. That would seem to require the computer to understand metaphor, which is currently kinda hard to do. You may be able to mathematically detect "blurriness" or "fuzziness" in the areas of out of focus, though I haven't seen the image in question. John Hebert
