1. A method for grouping images, the method comprising:
receiving, by a processing resource, a series of scene images, wherein the series of scene images includes at least a first scene image taken at a location at a first time and a second scene image taken at the location at a second time;
assembling, by the processing resource, a first image event including at least a first face image from the first scene image and a second face image from the second scene image;
performing, by the processing resource, facial feature extraction on at least the first face image to yield a first facial feature, and on the second face image to yield a second facial feature;
calculating, by the processing resource:
a first distance between the first facial feature and a third facial feature corresponding to a third face image in a second image event;
a second distance between the second facial feature and the third facial feature corresponding to the third face image in the second image event;

determining, by the processing resource, a composite distance between the first image event and the second image event based at least in part on a combination of the first distance, and the second distance; and
grouping, by the processing resource, the first image event with the second image event based at least in part on the composite distance.
