A missing determination unit determines whether or not there is a missing portion in an image captured by a plurality of cameras, and supplies a determination result (presence or absence of a missing) to a display control unit. The display control unit controls notification according to the determination result (presence or absence of a missing). The present disclosure can be applied to, for example, a system for causing a circumference image from an image captured by a wearable terminal to be displayed in another wearable terminal. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An information processing apparatus comprising: a missing determination unit that determines presence or absence of a missing in an image generated by imaging by a plurality of imaging devices; and a notification control unit that controls notification according to a determination result of presence or absence of the missing by the missing determination unit. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) 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. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The information processing apparatus according to claim 2, wherein, in a case where it is determined that there is a missing, the notification control unit causes highlight display of the missing. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) 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 in the stabilized image. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein in a case where 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 the number of pieces of the missing. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein in a case where it is determined that there is the missing, the notification control unit controls the notification for selecting whether or not the missing is supplemented. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the plurality of imaging devices are a first wearable camera and a second wearable camera. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) 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. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) 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. ### Claim 10 (depends on 8) 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. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising a missing supplement processing unit that performs supplement processing of the missing in a case where it is determined that there is the missing, in accordance with operation by a user. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) 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 supplement processing has been performed, in accordance with the operation by the user. ### Claim 13 (depends on 11) The information processing apparatus according to claim 11, wherein the user is a user of another information processing apparatus connected via a network. ### Claim 14 (depends on 1) The information processing apparatus according to claim 1, further comprising a transmission unit that transmits a determination result on presence or absence of the missing via a network. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The information processing apparatus according to claim 14, wherein, in a case where it is determined that there is the missing, the transmission unit transmits missing information of at least one of a size, a shape, or the number of pieces of the missing as metadata via the network. ### Claim 16 An information processing method, wherein an information processing apparatus determines presence or absence of a missing in an image generated by imaging by a plurality of imaging devices, and controls notification according to a determination result of presence or absence of the missing. ### Claim 17 A program that causes a computer to function as: a missing determination unit that determines presence or absence of a missing in an image generated by imaging by a plurality of imaging devices; and a notification control unit that controls notification according to a determination result of presence or absence of the missing by the missing determination unit.
