It would have to be an estimate because some exercises are dependent
on weight.  For example a 150 pound person will burn about 100
calories per mile (walking or running).  A 300 pound person will burn
about twice that for the same distance (200 calories per mile).  Their
heart rates (for walking) may be about the same. (certainly the 300
pound person won't have 2X the heart rate.)
