This study proposes an extended geographical database based on photo shooting history to enable the suggestion of candidate captions to newly shot photos. The extended geographical database consists of not only subject positions but also the likely shooting positions and directions estimated using the histories of the shooting positions and directions of the subjects. A user can add a caption to a photo by selecting an appropriate one from the candidate captions. The candidate captions are acquired using the shooting position and direction as a key to the extended geographical database. In this paper, we present the results of experiments for constructing the extended geographical database using a prototype system.
