A character recognition method is provided, in which the method includes the steps of: picking up images in a motion picture by changing brightness for each image; extracting a character area from each image; recognizing at least one character in the character area by performing a matching process between the character area and dictionary images for each image, and determining a character recognition result for each image; and selecting a final character recognition result of which the matching degree is the highest from the character recognition results of the images. Accordingly, even when a character is too dark to recognize due to shadows in the daytime or a character is too bright to recognize due to irradiation in the nighttime, the character can be recognized by using images having differing brightness.
