NoseMic

The NoseMic dataset is a subset of data collected for a respiratory rate estimation project. The audio recordings were captured using microphones positioned close to the participants' noses, while respiratory dynamics were measured using a Zephyr pressure sensor on the chest. Data collection took place in a stationary environment, both before and after physical exercise. A total of 21 participants were involved in the study, with data from some participants excluded due to poor sensing quality. The benchmark includes audio recordings from before and after running, with each recording segmented into 30-second windows that overlap by 15 seconds. The average respiratory rate for each window was used as the ground truth.
