Video deblurring faces a fundamental challenge, as blur degradation comprehensively affects frames by not only causing detail loss but also severely distorting structural information. This dual degradation across low- and high-frequency domains makes it challenging for existing methods to simultaneously restore both structural and detailed information through a unified approach. To address this issue, we propose a wavelet-based, blur-aware decoupled network (WBDNet) that innovatively decouples structure reconstruction from detail enhancement. Our method decomposes features into multiple frequency bands and employs specialized restoration strategies for different frequency domains. In the low-frequency domain, we construct a multi-scale feature pyramid with optical flow alignment. This enables accurate structure reconstruction through bottom-up progressive feature fusion. For high-frequency components, we combine deformable convolution with a blur-aware attention mechanism. This allows us to precisely extract and merge sharp details from multiple frames. Extensive experiments on benchmark datasets demonstrate the superior performance of our method, particularly in preserving structural integrity and detail fidelity.
