Odor measurement apparatus and odor data management apparatus

An odor measurement apparatus comprising:

• an odor sensor detecting an odor;
• an imaging device having a lens portion;
• a housing comprising the odor sensor and the imaging device therein;
• an arithmetic processing device controlling the behavior of the odor sensor and the imaging device by executing a control program,
• wherein an imaging direction of the imaging device and an introduction direction of air when the air is guided to a sensor surface of the odor sensor through an introduction port, which is disposed on the housing, are substantially the same direction,
• wherein an opening/closing device capable of opening and closing the introduction port is arranged in the odor measurement apparatus,
• wherein the odor sensor is a removable odor sensor chip that can be attached to, and detached from, the odor measurement apparatus through a hole formed on the housing,
• wherein, when a measurement start button is pressed while the control program is executed, a baseline measurement by the odor sensor is performed based on the behavior control provided by the arithmetic processing device, and
• wherein, when the measurement start button is pressed after the baseline measurement is completed, image capture by the imaging device accompanied by opening of a shutter by the opening/closing device, and odor measurement by the odor sensor, are performed based on the behavior control provided by the arithmetic processing device.
