An electronic nose apparatus is capable of replacing the olfactory sense of human. An apparatus and method for judging sensibility of a smell form olfactory characteristics of smells as data and judge the type and intensity of the smell based on the data. Particularly, a smell pattern is implemented as a database, and the sensibility of the smell of unknown gas is judged based on the implemented data, thus providing information on the sensibility of the smell. The apparatus and method implement detecting a gas via a sensor apparatus, comparing a detection pattern detected via the sensor apparatus with a smell sensibility pattern on a previously stored database to analyze the detection pattern, determining a most approximate smell sensibility pattern, based on the comparison, and judging smell sensibility of the detection gas based on the determined smell sensibility pattern. |
