Abstract
In an embodiment, a volumetry method is provided. The method can include receiving one or more 2D images of a site including one or more containers configured to hold a liquid, the 2D images being acquired at a first time. The method can also include identifying a container within the 2D images. The method can further include selecting an identified container within the 2D images for volumetric analysis based upon a degree of occlusion of its front facing surface. The method can additionally include classifying a portion of the selected container containing the liquid. The method can further include determining the volume of liquid held within the container based upon the classified portion.
