Reconfigurable self-embedding with high quality restoration under extensive tampering

In this paper we analyze the content reconstruction problem with the use of a revised erasure communication channel. Based on this approach, we propose a reconfigurable self-embedding system which can be adapted to different requirements. Our approach eliminates two major problems with the design of efficient content reconstruction algorithms and allows for theoretical analysis of the reconstruction performance. The presented theoretical results are verified using Monte Carlo simulations. The proposed scheme is experimentally evaluated in a number of possible configurations, and allows to achieve high reconstruction quality even with high tampering rates.
