The invention discloses an image blurring direction identification method based on a characteristic block direction differential. The method comprises the steps of calculating local deviation of point coordinates of each pixel of a target image, selecting first M points with the maximum local deviation, randomly selecting an N point serving as a characteristic block construct point in the M points, wherein the M and the N are positive integers, the M is larger than the N, and the N is larger than 1, regarding coordinates of the characteristic block construct point as a center, building the square characteristic blocks with the edges as C pixels and the areas as C*C, wherein the C is a positive integer, identifying a blurring direction angle of each characteristic block by a directional differentiation, recording the blurring direction angles of all the characteristic blocks, and judging and obtaining the blurring direction angle of the target image according to the blurring direction angles of all the characteristic blocks. The image blurring direction identification method processes identification of the burring direction of the target image in a simplified mode, reduces operation quantity and operation time, and obtains the accurate blurring direction by the calculating mode of multiple weighted means for the directional differentiation.
