The embodiments relate to classifying and grouping images. Primary images and secondary images are created and stored. A preliminary relationship between the primary and secondary images is established. The primary image is compared with the secondary image to produce a relevance score. The relevance score is converted to a secondary image assignment, which includes selectively assigning the secondary image to a first group based on the relevance score.
