Abstract: [Object] To provide an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, a program, and an observation system with which images of cells under observation are efficiently captured.
[Solving Means] An information processing apparatus according to the present technology includes an image-capture controller unit, an image-capture area classifier unit, and an observation controller unit. The image-capture controller unit controls an image-capture mechanism to capture images of a culture vessel including a plurality of wells that house cells for each image-capture area. The image-capture area classifier unit applies image processing to the images captured by the image-capture mechanism and classifies the plurality of image-capture areas into a first image-capture area of which image-capturing is continued and a second image-capture area of which image-capturing is not continued on the basis of a result of the image processing. The observation controller unit instructs the image-capture controller unit to capture an image of an image-capture area classified as the first image-capture area and not to capture an image of an image-capture area as the second image-capture area.

Abstract: A surgical imaging system comprising circuitry configured to accentuate an image characteristic of an area in captured images; identify the change of the image characteristic in the area; and identify the position of a physiological feature relative to the surgical device on the basis of the change in the image characteristic.
