This paper presents an advanced image watermarking system designed to enhance security and robustness against various attacks. The proposed system leverages a combination of normalization and Arnold scrambling techniques to embed watermarks into digital images discreetly. Normalization ensures consistent image quality, while Arnold scrambling adds an extra layer of security. Experimental results demonstrate the system's resilience to common image processing attacks, making it a promising solution for copyright protection and data authentication in digital media.
