Information processing apparatus and method and program

1. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a missing portion determination unit configured to determine presence or absence of a missing portion in an image generated by imaging by a plurality of imaging devices; and

a notification control unit configured to control notification according to a determination result of presence or absence of the missing portion by the missing portion determination unit,

wherein, when it is determined that there is the missing portion, the notification control unit controls the notification by transmitting the missing portion as superimposed layer data,

wherein the notification includes a selection screen for selecting whether or not the superimposed layer data is displayed with the image, and

wherein the missing portion determination unit and the notification control unit are each implemented via at least one processor.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the notification control unit controls the notification display of the determination result on the presence or absence of the missing portion.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein,

when it is determined that there is the missing portion, the notification control unit causes highlight display of the missing portion.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein

the missing determination unit acquires a stabilized image in which a change in the image according to a posture change of the imaging device is suppressed, and

the notification control unit dynamically changes a position of the highlight display of the missing portion in the stabilized image.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

when it is determined that there is a missing, the notification control unit controls the notification of at least one of a size, a shape, or a number of pieces of the missing portion.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

when it is determined that there is the missing portion, the notification control unit controls the notification for selecting whether or not the missing portion is supplemented.

7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the plurality of imaging devices comprise a first wearable camera and a second wearable camera.

8. The information processing apparatus according to claim 7 , wherein

a longitudinal direction of a first image acquired by the first wearable camera and a longitudinal direction of a second image acquired by the second wearable camera intersect with each other.

9. The information processing apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein

a central region of the first image is arranged corresponding to a line-of-sight direction of a user wearing the information processing apparatus.

10. The information processing apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein

both end portions of the longitudinal direction of the first image are respectively connected to both end portions of the second image extending along the longitudinal direction of the second image.

11. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a missing portion supplement processing unit configured to perform supplement processing of the missing portion in a case where it is determined that there is the missing portion, in accordance with an operation by a user,

wherein the missing portion supplemented processing unit is implemented via at least one processor.

12. The information processing apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein

the notification control unit causes highlight display of a region of the image for which the missing portion supplement processing has been performed, in accordance with the operation by the user.

13. The information processing apparatus according to claim 11 , wherein

the user uses another information processing apparatus connected via a network.

14. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a transmission unit configured to transmit a determination result on presence or absence of the missing portion via a network,

wherein the transmission unit is implemented via at least one processor.

15. The information processing apparatus according to claim 14 , wherein, in a case where it is determined that there is the missing portion, the transmission unit transmits missing information of at least one of a size, a shape, or a number of pieces of the missing portion as metadata via the network.

16. An information processing method, executed by an information processing apparatus, the method comprising:

determining presence or absence of a missing portion in an image generated by imaging by a plurality of imaging devices; and

controlling notification according to a determination result of presence or absence of the missing portion,

wherein, when it is determined that there is the missing portion, the notification is controlled by transmitting the missing portion as superimposed layer data, and

wherein the notification includes a selection screen for selecting whether or not the superimposed layer data is displayed with the image.

17. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having embodied thereon a program, which when executed by a computer causes the computer to execute a method, the method comprising:

determining presence or absence of a missing portion in an image generated by imaging by a plurality of imaging devices; and

controlling notification according to a determination result of presence or absence of the missing portion,

wherein, when it is determined that there is the missing portion, the notification is controlled by transmitting the missing portion as superimposed layer data, and

wherein the notification includes a selection screen for selecting whether or not the superimposed layer data is displayed with the image.
