We studied simultaneously the electronically written data affected in the use of thermal transfer discs and the recoding strategy between recoding drives for the stable long term preservation of optical discs which are commonly used in an electronic data storage device. The most important thing in the archiving preservation might be a choice of a device, however the use of thermal transfer recording discs is not good for long term data preservation because the thermal effect on the recoding data is critical which means that the data are recorded not under best condition but under bad condition. We inspect the strategies of recoding data from 12 brands of optical discs and drives of 7 brands and it turns out the recoding strategy is needed first for the long term preservation of electronic recording data. Thus, without affecting data quality and deformation of optical discs, the choice of optimal disc and drive in recoding data will be a solution for the long term preservation of recoding data.

This paper proposes a new framework of reversible data hiding scheme for absolute moment truncation coding (AMBTC) compressed images. AMBTC-based RDH can be applied to optical remote sensing (ORS) image transmission, which achieves target region preservation and image compression simultaneously. Existing methods can be concluded as two types. In type I schemes, stego codes mimic the original AMBTC format where no file bloat occurs, yet the carried secret data is limited. Type II schemes utilize predication errors to recode quantity levels of AMBTC codes which achieves significant increase in embedding capacity. However, such recoding causes bloat inside stego format, which is not appropriate in mentioned ORS transmission. The proposed method is a novel type I RDH method which prevents bloat inside AMBTC stego codes with significant improvement in embedding capacity. The AMBTC compressed trios are grouped into two categories according to a given threshold. In smooth trio, the modified low quantity level is constructed by concatenating Huffman codes and secret bits. The reversible contrast mapping (RCM) is performed to complex trios for data embedment. Experiments show that the proposed scheme provides highest payload compared with existing type I methods. Meanwhile, no expansion inside stego codes is caused.
