Assessment of inspiration and expiration time using infrared thermal imaging modality

Breathing is one of the important vital signs assessed by healthcare practitioner for patient monitoring and disease management. There are several methods used to evaluate breathing activities such as respiratory inductive plethysmography, impedance pneumography, bioacoustics method, spirometry and...
