+To make this article self-contained, this section recalls
+the basis of the Syndrome Treillis Codes (STC).
Let
$x=(x_1,\ldots,x_n)$ be the $n$-bits cover vector of the image $X$,
$m$ be the message to embed, and
$m$ for a given binary matrix $H$.
Let us explain this embedding on a small illustrative example where
-$\rho_X(i,x,y)$ is identically equal to 1,
+$\rho_X(i,x,y)$ is equal to 1,
whereas $m$ and $x$ are respectively a 3 bits column
vector and a 7 bits column vector.
Let then $H$ be the binary Hamming matrix
Unfortunately, for any given $H$, finding $y$ that solves $Hy=m$ and
that minimizes $D_X(x,y)$, has an exponential complexity with respect to $n$.

is a practical solution to this complexity. Thanks to this contribution,
the solving algorithm has a linear complexity with respect to $n$.
First of all, Filler \emph{et al.} compute the matrix $H$
by placing a small sub-matrix $\hat{H}$ of size $h × w$ next

Thanks to this special form of $H$, one can represent

\begin{enumerate}
\item Forward construction of the trellis that depends on $\hat{H}$, on $x$, on $m$, and on $\rho$.
\item Backward determination of $y$ that minimizes $D$, starting with
