You can do this in POV-Ray.  Create an image-mapped plane so that the frame
just fills the camera FOV, then use an average texture map.  I do this all
the time to fake focal blur on an image-mapped background. Of course, you
may lose some quality re-rendering an image, I haven't tried comparing
before/after on a single frame.
