1. A device for providing a skeleton model of a patient, the device comprising:
a joint identifier configured to obtain an image and corresponding image data of the patient including depth information and to generate joint location data by localizing one or more joints of the patient in said image;
a pose estimator configured to generate pose estimation data by estimating a pose of the patient using the joint location data and/or the image data,
a sensor locator configured to obtain body location data; including information about a location of a sensor on a body of the patient, and image location data including information about the location of the sensor in the image, and to generate sensor location data, assigning a sensor location in the image to a body location of the patient, based on the body location data and the image location data;
an assignor configured to perform an assignment of the one or more joints to one or more body locations of the patient by using the joint location data, the pose estimation data and the sensor location data; and
a skeleton model generator configured to generate a skeleton model of the patient based on the assignment of the one or more joints to one or more body locations of the patient.
