Abstract
his paper describes the application of a weight
estimation method for emergency patients in clinical
environments. The approach applies established
algorithms for point cloud processing and filtering
to data from a low-cost, structured light sensor. A
patient's volume is estimated on the basis of their
visible front surface. The approach is currently
being tested in the workflow of the emergency room
at the Universitätsklinikum Erlangen,
Germany. Preliminary results show the accuracy of
the approach in relation to other conservative means
of weight measurements, for example, by physicians
and anthropometric measurements.
