+More precisely, the same edge detection is applied on the $b$ first bits to
+produce the sequence $y$ of LSBs.
+If the STC approach has been selected in embedding, the STC reverse
+algorithm is directly executed to retrieve the encrypted message.
+This inverse function takes the $H$ matrix as a parameter.
+Otherwise, \textit{i.e.}, if the \emph{sample} strategy is retained,
+the same random bit selection than in the embedding step
+is executed with the same seed, given as a key.
+Finally, the Blum-Goldwasser decryption function is executed and the original
+message is extracted.

+\subsection{Running example}\label{sub:xpl}
+In this example, the cover image is Lena,
+which is a $512\times512$ image with 256 grayscale levels.
+The message is the poem Ulalume (E. A. Poe), which is constituted by 104 lines, 667
+words, and 3,754 characters, \textit{i.e.}, 30,032 bits.
+Lena and the first verses are given in Fig.~\ref{fig:lena}.

+The edge detection returns 18,641 and 18,455 pixels when $b$ is
+respectively 7 and 6. These edges are represented in Figure~\ref{fig:edge}.

+Only 9,320 bits (resp. 9,227 bits) are available for embedding
+in the former configuration where $b$ is 7 (resp. where $b$ is 6).
+In both cases, about the third part of the poem is hidden into the cover.
+Results with \emph{adaptive+STC} strategy are presented in
+Fig.~\ref{fig:lenastego}.

+Finally, differences between the original cover and the stego images
+are presented in Fig.~\ref{fig:lenadiff}. For each pair of pixel $X_{ij}$ and $Y_{ij}$ ($X$ and $Y$ being the cover and the stego content respectively),
+the pixel value $V_{ij}$ of the difference is defined with the following map
+$$
+V_{ij}= \left\{
+\begin{array}{rcl}
+0 & \textrm{if} & X_{ij} = Y_{ij} \\
+75 & \textrm{if} & \vert X_{ij} - Y_{ij} \vert = 1 \\
+150 & \textrm{if} & \vert X_{ij} - Y_{ij} \vert = 2 \\
+225 & \textrm{if} & \vert X_{ij} - Y_{ij} \vert = 3
+\end{array}
+\right..
+$$
+This function allows to emphasize differences between contents.
