Abstract
An approach is provided in which a system analyzes a first subject in a first image taken at a first point in time against a second subject in a second image taken at a second point in time. The first image and the second image are captured at a venue. The system determines, based on a time duration between the first point in time and the second point, a probability that the first subject is at the venue at the second point in time. Next, the system computes, based on the probability, a relevance score that quantifies a relationship between the first subject in the first image and the second subject in the second image. Finally, the system assigns the second image to a first image file corresponding to the first image based on the relevance score reaching a relevance score threshold.
