Abstract

Studies on olfactory communication using scents in addition to audio/visual information have recently become active. In a scent communication system, no representation scheme of scent information has been established due to lack of a basis for the smell. We introduced background scents that provide the ambience of image contents, and proposed a communication model for the background scents using sense-descriptive adjectives for association. The results of our experiments showed that the communication model is effective for enhancing the image contents.
