Image Authentication and Self-Recovery Scheme Based on The Rehashing Model

[[abstract]]An effective image tamper localization and self-recovery scheme that uses the rehashing model is proposed in this paper. The aim of the proposed scheme was to reduce the failure rate in detecting image tamper areas and achieve high rates of successful detection. To achieve this aim, the proposed scheme uses a set of hash functions which are called the rehashing model, gained an optimal decreasing collision method to detect tamper areas With an improved and accurate tamper detection rate, the tampered image can be recovered more accurately. The quality of the proposed scheme was tested with gray and color images. The experimental results indicated that the proposed scheme has good performance in locating tamper locations and allows image recovery with an acceptable visual quality up to 50% of the image content tampered
