The copyright violations in digital images and the violations of the privacy of personal data are happened with the development of technology and the widespread use of the internet. The usage of watermarks in digital images provides high protection to image owners in copyright protection and in protection of personal data. In this paper, watermarks have been added to digital images by using discrete wavelet transform (DWT), discrete cosine transform (DCT) and singular value decomposition (SVD) methods, respectively. "Gaussian", "shot", "salt & pepper" and "speckle" noises are added to watermarked images, respectively. The original image and the watermark have been extracted from the watermarked image after adding noise. The original image and watermark have been re-extracted from the optimized watermarked image by using the bacterial foraging optimization (BFO) technique. In this step, the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm has been used to set the best position of the chemotactic parameters of the BFO algorithm. The peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR), normalized cross correlation (NCC) and image fidelity (IF) values have been calculated and compared to see the success performance of watermarking techniques and optimization techniques.
