Smart copying-a new approach to reconstruction of audio signals

The paper presents a new approach to reconstruction of audio signals. First, a general reconstruction formula is derived allowing one to estimate unknown samples from the known (neighboring) ones. Then it is shown that the unknown excitation appearing in the analytical reconstruction formula can be replaced with the natural excitation waveform extracted from the available portions of the signal.
