1. A method of creating an enhanced Lund and Browder chart and determining a total body surface area burn score for a patient with burns, the method comprising:
displaying a plurality of pose templates on a display to assist in obtaining a plurality of images;
obtaining the plurality of images of the patient by at least one camera aligning each pose of the patient with each pose template of the plurality of pose templates on the display;
automatically recognizing:
patient body landmarks in the plurality of images;
patient skin regions in the plurality of images;
a background in the plurality of images;
distractors in the plurality of images and classifying the distractors;
burn locations on the patient in the plurality of images;
combining the plurality of images to create the enhanced Lund and Browder chart; and
determining the total body surface area burn score based at least in part on the enhanced Lund and Browder chart.
