Abstract

The reconstruction of shredded documents is of interest in domains such as forensics, investigative sciences and archaeology, and has therefore been approached in many different ways. This paper takes a step towards bridging the gap between previous, disparate, efforts by proposing a composable, probabilistic solution. The task is first divided into independent sub-problems, and novel approaches to several of these sub-problems are then presented. The theoretical properties and empirical performance of these novel approaches are shown to compare favourably to those of previously published methods.
