Abstract

Digital technologies are playing a vital role in the present communication system. This paper presents a robust and secure watermarking method to protect the copyright information of multimedia objects. In the proposed method, Discrete Wavelet Transform and Discrete Cosine Transform are applied on the cover image and then Discrete Cosine Transform coefficients of watermark image are embedded into transformed cover image. The experimental result shows the performance evaluation of the proposed method by the quality metrics as PSNR for watermarked image and NC for extracted watermark image and we have compared the results with the existing transformation methods in frequency domain based on attacks.
