Prosperous Digital Image Watermarking Approach by using DCT-DWT

In this paper, Everyday tons of data is embedded on digital media or distributed over the internet. The data so Distributed can easily be replicated without error, putting the rights of their owners at risk. Even when encrypted for distribution, data can easily be decrypted and copied. One way to discourage illegal duplication is to insert information known as watermark, into potentially valuable data in such a way that it is impossible to separate the watermark from the data. These challenges motivated researchers to carry out intense research in the field of watermarking. A watermark is a form, image or text that is impressed onto paper, which provides evidence of its Authenticity. Digital watermarking is an extension of the same concept. There are two types of watermarks visible watermark and invisible watermark. In this project we have concentrated on implementing watermark in image. The main consideration for any watermarking scheme is its robustness to various attacks
