In an identity transform situation, have no-op templates for caption
and table, with suitable predicates eg

<xsl:template match="caption[preceding-sibling::*[1][self::image]"/>

and then the usual way to handle them from the image template is with a mode:

<xsl:template match="image[following-sibling::*[1][self::caption]] .... ">
    (output the image markup)
    <xsl:apply-templates
select="following-sibling::*[1][self::caption]" mode="image-caption"/>

with

<xsl:template match="caption" mode="image-caption">
  ...
</
