Abstract: : Digital image watermarking is powerful technique which provide ownership protection and copyright protection. In this paper, a novel watermarking technique based on Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) and Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) is presented. YCbCr color model is used for watermark embedding and extraction because of its close resemblance to human visual system. Single level DWT is applied to Luma Component of YCbCr color cover image and then DCT coefficients are taken for watermark embedding process. DCT is applied block by block of size . Binary watermark is scrambled using Arnold transform with k iterations to achieve robustness. Proposed method has been evaluated by many performance evaluation measures such as Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR), Normalized Correlation (NC) and Computational time. Various watermark attacks are also applied against proposed method, result shows that superiority over other methods.
