I am sure somebody would have solved this already, but here what I do in
such a situation:

#in the directory with the images. This will create dirs based on the
#numbers in the image filenames and move that file to its corresponding
#directory
for f in icon_????_0_1.jpg; do
  num=`echo $f | sed -e 's/icon_\([0-9]*\)_0_1\.jpg/\1/'`; #get number
  mkdir ${num};
  mv $f ${num};
done
