1. A system for estimating image quality of a digital image, the system comprising:

  • a processing device; and

    a computer-readable medium containing programming instructions that are configured to cause the processing device to;

    access a corpus of digital images of one or more subjects taken by one or more image capturing devices,receive, for at least a subset of the corpus of digital images, an indicator that one or more patches of each image in the subset is out of focus,train a classifier by obtaining and storing in a data store;

    an n-dimensional feature representation of each pixel in each image; and

    a focus value that represents an extent to which each pixel in the image is in focus or out of focus, anduse the classifier to analyze pixels of a new digital image and output an assessment of whether each analyzed pixel in the new digital image is in focus or out of focus.
