Claim Text:
1. An integrated system for optical topology detection and illumination, comprising: a surgical illumination system comprising one or more of light sources configured to illuminate a region of interest with illumination light within an illumination field, wherein the illumination light is provided over a plurality of angles for reducing or eliminating shadows within the illumination field; an optical topology detection system comprising a structured light projector for projecting optical topology detection light comprising structured light patterns onto the region of interest within an optical topology detection field that overlaps with said illumination field, and one or more cameras for imaging optical topology detection light scattered or reflected from the region of interest for detecting the topology at the region of interest; wherein at least a portion of the spectral content of the illumination light is within an optical detection bandwidth of said optical topology detection system and wherein said optical topology detection system and said surgical illumination system emit light in the visible spectrum; and one or more processors configured to:
