# Image Sample Sets

Once you have collected your images, you can organize them into sample sets. The image sample sets provide a helpful mechanism to manage and organize your database of images. Image sets allow you to divide your collection of images into categories that you can use for training, testing, experimentation and validation. These sets will help to establish confidence in your results, by executing your tools against specific types of images, which you define.

For example, you could divide your database of images into categories:

- Train – Line 1 (04082019)
- Train – Line 1 (04222019)
- Train – Line 2 (03292019)
- Test – Line 1 (04092019)
- Test – Line 2 (03302019)
- Test – Bad Parts

Tip: Once you have assembled image sample sets (see the Use Image Sample Sets topic for more information), you can use the Display and Database Overview filters to easily filter and sort your images.
