Face features respectively associated with a plurality of picture categories are acquired and the video is assigned to one of the picture categories based on a comparison of the key frame face feature and the face features of the picture categories. Videos may first be associated with a video category by comparing key frame face features from the videos, and then the video category may be assigned to a picture category based on comparison of a video category face feature with a plurality of picture category face features. Alternatively, a video may be assigned to a picture category based on matching capture times and capture locations between the video and a reference picture in the picture category.
