1. A system for automating a medical environment, comprising:
one or more sensing devices configured to capture images of the medical environment, wherein the one or more sensing devices include at least one of a camera, a depth sensor, or a thermal sensor, and wherein the images are associated with respective image coordinate systems and the medical environment is associated with a world coordinate system; and
at least one processing device communicatively coupled to the one or more sensing devices and configured to:
receive all or a subset of the images captured by the one or more sensing devices;
identify at least a patient and a medical device in the received images, wherein the medical device includes a radiation source;
determine respective locations of the patient and the medical device in the medical environment based on the received images and respective spatial relationships between the world coordinate system and the image coordinate systems associated with the received images;
determine, based on the received images, a three-dimensional (3D) parametric model of the patient, wherein the 3D parametric model indicates at least a body shape and a pose of the patient;
determine a scan or surgical area of the patient based on the 3D parametric model;
calculate a radiation exposure of the patient based at least on the location of the medical device and the 3D parametric model of the patient;
generate information for controlling at least a part of the medical device with respect to the scan or surgical area of the patient, wherein the information is generated based on the respective locations of the patient and the medical device in the medical environment, the scan or surgical area of the patient, and the radiation exposure of the patient; and
transmit the information for controlling at least the part of the medical device to a receiving device.
