Abstract

An ideal watermarking scheme is a technique of embedding secret information into the image in order toauthenticate the image. This helps in detecting The integrity of the image. Here a block based Watermarking technique has been sed. A Fuzzy C means based algorithm is used here to Watermark and authenticate the image Experimental result here show that it can detect maximum modification and it can remove such changes done to the image.
