Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) It is effective to use caption text to search a video from many recorded videos. For caption recognition, it needs to detect caption area and duration, to extract caption character patterns, and to recognize them. This paper reports about caption character patterns extraction. After generating average image of caption duration, color clustering is done to extract decomposed binary images. Then, noise is removed by multi-frame information. The most reliable character line is selected by its OCR result. Some key characters are extracted and combinations of characters are made based on them. The most reliable one is selected by result of character recognition and distance between adjacent characters. We evaluated accuracy using character box coordinates for 83 captions in a news video and got 93.3% recall and 91.6% precision rate.
