Is there any function there in OpenCV to do it?

If there is no function in OpenCV how can I implement it? any idea would be great..

The input will be an image and the output should be the blurriness and sharpness of the image.

In general, sum of magnitude of image shows focus fluctuations (smoothness).In special case, you can check the zero crossing in specific points of image. For more accurate value for smoothness compute FFT for image then you can survey the high pass frequency of image.

C:

double calcGradients(const IplImage*src,intaperture_size=7)
{
CvSize sz=cvGetSize(src);
IplImage*img16_x=cvCreateImage(sz,IPL_DEPTH_16S,1);
IplImage*img16_y=cvCreateImage(sz,IPL_DEPTH_16S,1);
cvSobel(src,img16_x,1,0,aperture_size);
cvSobel(src,img16_y,0,1,aperture_size);
IplImage*imgF_x=cvCreateImage(sz,IPL_DEPTH_32F,1);
IplImage*imgF_y=cvCreateImage(sz,IPL_DEPTH_32F,1);
cvScale(img16_x,imgF_x);
cvScale(img16_y,imgF_y);
IplImage*magnitude=cvCreateImage(sz,IPL_DEPTH_32F,1);
cvCartToPolar(imgF_x,imgF_y,magnitude);
double res=cvSum(magnitude).val[0];
cvReleaseImage(&magnitude);
cvReleaseImage(&imgF_x);
cvReleaseImage(&imgF_y);
cvReleaseImage(&img16_x);
cvReleaseImage(&img16_y);
return
res;
}

C++:

double contrast_measure( const Mat&img )
{
    Mat dx, dy;
    Sobel( img, dx, CV_32F, 1, 0, 3 );
    Sobel( img, dy, CV_32F, 0, 1, 3 );
    magnitude( dx, dy, dx );
    return sum(dx)[0];
}

test code for the function calcBlurriness which is an undocumented OpenCV function

#include "opencv2/imgproc.hpp"
#include "opencv2/highgui.hpp"
#include "iostream"

using namespace cv;

float calcBlurriness( const Mat &src )
{
    Mat Gx, Gy;
    Sobel( src, Gx, CV_32F, 1, 0 );
    Sobel( src, Gy, CV_32F, 0, 1 );
    double normGx = norm( Gx );
    double normGy = norm( Gy );
    double sumSq = normGx * normGx + normGy * normGy;
    return static_cast<float>( 1. / ( sumSq / src.size().area() + 1e-6 ));
}

int main( int argc, char** argv )
{
    char* filename = argc >= 2 ? argv[1] : (char*)"lena.jpg";
    Mat src = imread( filename );

    if(src.data)
    {
        std::cout << "original image : " << calcBlurriness( src ) << std::endl;

        for( int i =3; i < 80; i+=2 )
        {
            Mat blurred;
            GaussianBlur( src, blurred, Size(i,i), 0);
            imshow(  "blurred image", blurred );
            waitKey(200);
            std::cout << "blurred image  : " << calcBlurriness( blurred ) << std::endl;
        }
    }
    return 0;
}

resuts : ( the lesser value means more sharpness )

I think he might be talking about a map of the sharpness of an image per pixel.
