Visualization of surgical devices

A surgical visualization system, comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory communicatively coupled to the processor, wherein the memory stores instructions which, when executed by the processor:
• receive structured light data from an image sensor indicative of a structured light pattern on a surface of an anatomical structure;
• calculate a three-dimensional representation of the anatomical structure from the structured light data;
• receive spectral light data from the image sensor indicative of a spectral image of a staple line;
• generate a spectral image of the staple line from the spectral light data;
• and
• determine a distance with respect to the staple line.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing computer readable instructions which, when executed, cause a machine to:

• receive structured light data from an image sensor indicative of a structured light pattern on a surface of an anatomical structure;
• calculate a three-dimensional representation of the anatomical structure from the structured light data;
• receive spectral light data from the image sensor indicative of a spectral image of a staple line;
• generate a spectral image of the staple line from the spectral light data;
• and
• determine a distance with respect to the staple line.
