Description

Psychological analysis method that reflects the image creation process

The present invention relates to a psychological analysis method for analyzing the psychological state of a test subject through images input by the test subject.

A psychological test measures an individual's mental and psychological state to objectively quantify or qualitatively analyze the invisible psychological state and makes it visible, and is used as a means of diagnosing an individual's psychological symptoms.

Known psychological tests such as the above-mentioned picture psychology test (HTP), a type of projective test, and questionnaire tests that use questionnaires to test an individual's personality type, behavioral type, depression, anger scale, etc.

The above-mentioned picture psychological test (HTP) requires a counselor with expertise in various fields such as art, psychology, clinical practice, statistics, etc., and in particular, it takes a lot of testing time for the counselor to analyze the pictures drawn by the counselor and obtain the results. It has the disadvantage of requiring too much time to search through numerous books and materials to actually analyze pictures. In addition, if accurate analysis results are not obtained depending on the counselor's condition, or if the counselor is burdened with heavy counseling and treatment work, he or she may have difficulty concentrating on the test.

Meanwhile, this type of psychological drawing test basically analyzes the psychological state of the test subject based on the image completed and submitted by the test subject, but the process of the test subject drawing a picture is also an important element in analyzing the psychological state of the test subject.

For example, if the examinee has a lot of hesitation in drawing a specific part, or if the examinee focuses excessively on drawing a specific part, or vice versa, the behavior shown by the examinee during the drawing process also reflects the psychological state of the examinee.

Therefore, in the case of a detailed psychological drawing test, it became necessary for the tester to observe the entire drawing process in order to reflect the subject's behavior during the drawing process in the psychological analysis, and, if necessary, record the drawing process for testing. The person uses this as a judgment indicator.

However, in this conventional method, the tester's work time required to test one test subject increases, the test cost increases, and the number of testees that a skilled tester can test is limited.

In addition, recently, an automated system has been developed in which a computer system analyzes the images drawn by the test subject using an analysis algorithm to derive the psychological state of the test subject. Republic of Korea Patent No. 10-1772987 (Method of providing psychological test results using scanned images) ) and Korean Patent No. 10-1132507 (Psychological symptom diagnosis system and method using pictures) disclose a psychological analysis system through image analysis. However, in the case of such an analysis system, there is a problem in that it does not reflect the process of the examinee drawing a picture.

Furthermore, in the analysis system, in order to reflect the process of the examinee's drawing in the analysis, the process of the examinee's drawing must be recorded as a video and the video should be analyzed. However, in the case of video analysis, there are many undetermined variables, so the accuracy of the psychological analysis results There was a problem with this being lowered.

The present invention was created to solve the above-described conventional problems. In analyzing the psychological state of the test subject through the picture drawn by the test subject, the present invention can analyze the psychological state by reflecting the process of the test subject drawing the picture. The goal is to provide a psychological analysis method that allows for this.

In addition, the present invention calculates a process vector value that can judge the drawing process when the examinee inputs a picture through a drawing unit, and separately creates an evaluation image reflecting this, so that psychological analysis is performed through the evaluator's evaluation or analysis system. The goal is to provide a psychological analysis method that facilitates analysis.

In addition, the present invention provides a psychological analysis method that generates an evaluation image that includes pen pressure, pen speed, and correction content in the picture drawn by the test subject during the drawing process, allowing the test subject to easily understand the drawing process through the evaluation image.

This is an example diagram showing another example of an input image and an evaluation image generated by a specific embodiment of the invention.

First, as shown in Figure 3, the psychological analysis system according to the present invention is composed of a drawing unit 100 and an analysis server 200, and the analysis server 200 includes an input processing module 210, an input It consists of an image generation module 220, an evaluation image generation module 230, and an image analysis and evaluation module 240.

The drawing unit 100 receives and transmits input values for image creation from the examinee, and may be composed of a pen computer, pen display, pen tablet, etc. that are commercially sold.

Accordingly, the drawing unit 100 may be configured to include a touch pen and an input pad.

Meanwhile, the analysis server 200 is a device that generates and provides an image through the input value received from the drawing unit 100, and includes an input processing module 210, an input image generation module 220, and an evaluation image generation module ( 230) and an image analysis and evaluation module (240).

The input processing module 210 processes the input value received from the drawing unit 100 by dividing it into elements for image creation. That is, the input processing module 210 calculates the position coordinate value to be reflected in the image and the setting value (type, thickness, color, etc. of line) to be reflected in the image from the input value input from the drawing unit 100.

Meanwhile, in the present invention, color means not only the type of color but also brightness and saturation.

Additionally, the input processing module 210 calculates a process vector for generating an evaluation image in the evaluation image generation module 230, which will be described later.

The process vector is an element corresponding to an event that occurs during the drawing process, and the specific contents of the process vector will be described in detail again.

Next, the input image generation module 220 generates an input image through the input value received from the drawing unit 100.

At this time, the input image is an image created when sketching with a touch pen of a typical drawing unit, and is generated as a line generated according to the input coordinates of the touch pen according to the type, thickness, and color of the line set in the drawing software. It refers to an image that becomes

Meanwhile, the evaluation image generation module 230 generates an evaluation image in which a process vector corresponding to an event occurring during the drawing process of the examinee is reflected in the input image.

At this time, the process vector includes event elements that occur during the drawing process, and specifically, in the present invention, it includes a pen pressure element, a writing speed element, and a correction element.

The pen pressure element refers to the touch pressure with which the touch pen of the drawing unit touches the input pad, and can be measured by a sensor provided on the touch pen or the input pad.

Additionally, the pen pressure factor may be reflected in the evaluation image as a change in the thickness of the generated line. In other words, as the pen pressure of the pen pressure element increases, the thickness of the generated line increases to generate an evaluation image.

Meanwhile, the writing element represents the rate of change of coordinate values input through the drawing unit, and means the drawing speed.

At this time, as shown in FIG. 4, when a line is input through the drawing unit, the calculation of the writing element divides the line into preset unit lengths (L1, L2) and inputs each unit length. The time (t1, t2) is calculated, and the writing speed value (dL1/dt1, dL2/dt2) calculated from the input time for the corresponding unit length is calculated.

And the writing elements can be reflected in the evaluation image by changing the color of the generated line. That is, as shown in FIG. 4, the faster the writing speed value of the writing speed element in the default line color, the higher the brightness or saturation is applied, so that an evaluation image can be generated.

Meanwhile, the correction element represents an image that was input through the drawing unit and then deleted through the delete function.

At this time, the correction element may be reflected in a way that it is added to the input image in a preset specific color to generate an evaluation image.

Examples of the input image (A) and evaluation image (B) generated in the manner described above are shown in FIGS. 5 and 6.

Accordingly, the examiner can look at the evaluation image and determine whether the examinee drew forcefully on any part during the drawing process (outside and window of the house in Fig. 5, the body of the tree in Fig. 6), and accordingly, the examinee can You can find out which part the concentration increases when drawing.

In addition, the examiner can look at the evaluation image and determine whether the examinee drew certain parts quickly or slowly during the drawing process, and accordingly, whether the examinee is confident when drawing certain parts or has an avoidance tendency when drawing certain parts. You can determine whether it exists.

In addition, the examiner can look at the evaluation image and determine which parts the examinee made the most corrections to during the drawing process, and thus determine which parts are important and which parts are to be drawn accurately.

Meanwhile, the evaluation image generated in this way may be provided to the examiner to facilitate psychological analysis, but may be provided to the image analysis and evaluation module (hereinafter referred to as the 'evaluation module') and analyzed by the analysis algorithm. Results can be derived.

The evaluation module 240 calculates psychological analysis characteristic elements set in the psychological analysis standard table from the evaluation image, calculates evaluation scores for the characteristic elements, and derives psychological analysis results, including pen pressure elements for the characteristic elements, Psychological analysis results can be derived by adding weights according to the writing elements and correction elements.

The basic psychological analysis method of the evaluation module 240 will be described in detail again below.

Meanwhile, the psychological analysis method according to the present invention begins with (A) the drawing unit 100 receiving a drawing from the examinee (S110).

Since the input of a picture through the drawing unit 100 is the same as the operation method of a general drawing unit, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

Thereafter, the input image generation module 220 generates an input image using the input value of the examinee input through the drawing unit 100 (S120).

At this time, as described above, the input image is an image created when sketching with a touch pen of a typical drawing unit, and is created according to the input coordinates of the touch pen according to the type, thickness, and color of the line set in the drawing software. This refers to an image created by the lines created.

Then, the input processing module 210 generates a process vector corresponding to an event occurring during the drawing process, and the evaluation image generation module adds the process vector to the input image to generate an evaluation image (S130).

At this time, since the process vector and evaluation image have been described in detail, detailed description will be omitted.

Steps 110 to 130 are continued until the test subject completes the input (S140). Accordingly, the input image and evaluation image are completed (S140).

Afterwards, psychological analysis results are calculated through the generated evaluation image (S150), and the analysis results are provided to the test subject (S160).

At this time, the psychological analysis results may be calculated by the examiner by providing the evaluation image to the examiner, or may be provided to the evaluation module 240 to be calculated by an analysis algorithm.

Psychological analysis by the evaluation module 240 calculates psychological analysis characteristic elements set in the psychological analysis standard table from the evaluation image, and calculates evaluation scores for the characteristic elements to derive psychological analysis results.

At this time, psychological analysis results can be derived by adding weights according to the pen pressure factor, pen speed factor, and correction factor for the characteristic factors.

A specific example of the psychological analysis algorithm of the evaluation module 240 will be described.
