The image block effect is caused by quantification processing of coefficients when using discrete cosine transformation (DCT) to compress coding of images. DCT dumps some frequencies, leading to discontinuous leaps of subblock boundaries. An image deblocking algorithm based on curvelet transformation was proposed. This algorithm first carried out curvelet transformation of degraded images, then processed the obtained curvelet coefficients separately layer by layer, so as to recover the images. The coefficients corresponding to the block effect of the original image could be found for every layer, proving that different methods apply to different layers. Then new coefficient matrixes were calculated, using the images which were reconstructed. Experiments show that the algorithm retains more details and generates better recovery results than the traditional spatial domain and wavelet deblocking methods which are used commonly for both subjective and objective evaluations.
