Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods for generating body pose information for a person in a physical environment. In various implementations, a device includes an environmental sensor, a non-transitory memory and one or more processors coupled with the environmental sensor and the non-transitory memory. In some implementations, a method includes obtaining, via the environmental sensor, spatial data corresponding to a physical environment. The physical environment includes a person and a fixed spatial point. The method includes identifying a portion of the spatial data that corresponds to a body portion of the person. In some implementations, the method includes determining a position of the body portion relative to the fixed spatial point based on the portion of the spatial data. In some implementations, the method includes generating pose information for the person based on the position of body portion in relation to the fixed spatial point.

Generating pose information for a person in a physical environment

The disclosure is directed to a radiotherapy system having a treatment device for treating a treatment body part of a patient with a treatment beam arrangement. The treatment device is included with a couch for placing the patient and includes a medical imaging devices for outputting three-dimensional cone-beam computed tomography images to a computer, and a medical imaging x-ray device for generating at least one x-ray image, if the patient is placed on the couch for treatment, and for outputting at least one x-ray image to the computer. The system will output movement control data to control the relative position of the treatment body part relative to the treatment beam if it is determined there is the offset between the position of the treatment body part relative to the bony structure as described by the image data and the position of the treatment body part relative to a bony structure.

CBCT and X-ray combined setup with X-ray verification of patient positioning

A method and system of representing a virtual object in a view of a real environment is provided which includes providing image information of a first image of at least part of a human face captured by a camera, providing at least one human face specific characteristic, determining an image area of the face in the first image as a face region, determining at least one first light falling on the face according to the face region and the at least one human face specific characteristic, and blending in the virtual object on a display device in the view of the real environment according to at least one first light. The method further includes providing a plurality of face sample positions, providing for each of the plurality of face sample positions a radiance transfer function, determining image positions of the face sample positions in the first image, and determining a first light according to intensity information associated with the image positions of the face sample positions in the first image and the radiance transfer functions associated with the face sample positions in the first image.

Method and system for representing a virtual object in a view of a real environment

The invention is directed to a data processing method for determining the consistency of registration of the position of a treatment body part to be treated by radiotherapy with a treatment beam arrangement of at least one position of a treatment beam issued by a treatment device, the treatment body part being a soft tissue part of an anatomical structure of a patient's body and the data processing method being constituted to be executed by a computer and comprising the following steps: g) acquiring CT data comprising predetermined CT information about a position of the treatment body part relative to a bony structure of the patient's body and about a first position of the bony structure relative to the treatment beam arrangement; h) acquiring x-ray data comprising x-ray information about a second position of the bony structure relative to the treatment beam arrangement; i) determining, based on the x-ray data and the CT data, bony structure position first transformation data comprising bony structure position first transformation information about a first transformation between the first position and the second position of the bony structure; j) acquiring CBCT data comprising CBCT information about the position of the treatment body part relative to the treatment beam arrangement or relative to the bony structure; k) determining, based on the CBCT data and the CT data, bony structure position second transformation data comprising bony structure position second transformation information about a second transformation between the first position and a third position of the bony structure relative to the treatment beam arrangement; determining, based on the bony structure position first transformation data and the bony structure position second transformation data, transformation difference data comprising transformation difference information about a difference between the first and second transformations.
