I'm trying to replicate this effect:

Where the image is not blurred at all at the top, but becomes more gradually blurred as you go further down. Ideally this would be a live effect in the same way that the iOS toolbar works.
I know I can adjust the alpha of a view, but I'm looking for something that can adjust it as it goes down the view, rather than just being static over the view.
