This paper incorporate the detail investigation of Digital watermarking (DW) clarification, idea and the primary commitments in this field, for example, classes of watermarking process that tell which watermarking strategy ought to be utilized. It begins with diagram, characterization, highlights, structure, systems, application, challenges, confinements, quality execution and execution metric of watermarking and a fit examination of some major watermarking procedures. In this paper an image watermarking techniques based on 2-RDWT-SVD a gray scale improved Arnold transform scrambled watermarking image data is embedded into gray scale host image is proposed. The performance of scrambling algorithm and security of the image is improved by using various transform coefficients.
