Respiratory Rate Estimation from Thermal Video Data Using Spatio-Temporal Deep Learning by Mohsen Mozafari, Andrew J. Law, Rafik A. Goubran, James R. Green

“…Thermal recordings from 22 subjects, with simultaneous gold standard respiratory effort measurements, were studied while sitting or standing, both with and without a face mask. The RR estimation results showed that our proposed method outperformed existing models, achieving an error of only 1.6 breaths per minute across the four conditions. …”
