The purpose of image phylogeny is discovering dependencies among a group of images representing similar or equal contents in order to construct a tree describing image relationships. We applied a family of image processing techniques to a set of images, in order to create parental relationship. Operating in the wavelet domain, it is possible to apply denoise filters in the images, separating each image in two contributions: a component part (the denoised image) and a randomness part (the noise). We evaluate the effectiveness of this method for three different database, using subsets of the image processing functions: in this report, we show that geometric transformation imperfections influence the results of denoising algorithm highly, when reconstructing trees for component and randomness parts. } }
