Abstract

Due to the 4th industrial revolution and an aged society, many studies are being conducted to apply virtual reality to medical field. Research on dementia is especially active. This paper proposes virtual reality based on cognitive rehabilitation contents using image recognition and clustering method to improve cognitive and physical disabilities caused by dementia. Unlike the existing cognitive rehabilitation system, this paper uses travel photos that reflect the memories of the subjects to be treated. In order to generate automated cognitive rehabilitation contents, we extract face information, food pictures, place information, and time information from photographs, and normalization is performed for clustering. And we present scenarios that can be used as cognitive rehabilitation contents using travel photos in virtual reality space.

4차 산업혁명과 초고령 시대로 인해, 가상현실을 의료 분야에 적용하려는 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 특히 치매에 대한 논의가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 본 논문은 치매로 인해 발생하는 인지 및 신체 장애를 개선하기 위해 영상 인식 및 군집화 방법을 사용한 가상현실 인지재활 콘텐츠를 제안한다. 기존 인지재활 시스템과는 달리 본 논문에서는 치료 대상자의 추억이 반영되어 있는 여행사진을 사용한다. 자동화된 인지재활 콘텐츠 생성을 위해 사진으로부터 인물정보, 음식사진 여부, 장소 정보, 시간 정보를 추출하고, 군집화를 위해 정규화가 수행된다. 그리고 가상현실 공간에서 여행 사진을 활용해 인지재활 및 신체재활을 강화할 수 있는 시나리오를 제시한다.
