Abstract

A scent visualization system may comprise a display apparatus for generating a target image including a target object; an olfactory sensor for detecting a scent; and a scent visualization apparatus for generating target associative visualization information that reminds the scent from the target image received from the display apparatus and sensing information received from the olfactory sensor, and generating an associative image by combining the target associative visualization information and the target image. Therefore, a low-cost, high-efficiency, high-utilization, and high-convenience scent visualization system can be provided.
