The problem of digital forgeries has become more and more serious in various fields like entertainment, digital forensics, and journalism. This paper proposes a self-embedding watermarking scheme for the restoration of an image after tampering by digital forgery. In this study, an absolute moment block truncation coding image was used as a watermark, in which the image was a compressed version of the original cover image and contained the content features of the cover image. Therefore, it was perfectly possible to perform self-embedding. The watermark was embedded using the LSB and 2LSB for the pixels of the cover image. This procedure made it possible to recover the original watermarked image from a tampered watermarked image. Furthermore, there was no problem in reconstructing it when the rate of tampering was more than 80%. In addition, we verified our proposed self-embedding scheme through an experiment. As a result of the experiment, the recovered image showed good perceptual quality compared to that of the previous scheme.
