1. A method of imaging a surgical site, the method comprising:
obtaining, by a controller of an automated surgical hub system, first image data of a surgical site;
controlling, by the controller of the automated surgical hub system, at least one illumination source to illuminate a visible surface of the surgical site in a first manner by projecting structured light onto the visible surface;
obtaining, by the controller of the automated surgical hub system, second image data of the visible surface of the surgical site under illumination in the first manner by the at least one illumination source, wherein the second image data is based on sensing the structured light projected onto the visible surface;
calculating, by the controller of the automated surgical hub system, a three-dimensional model of the visible surface based on the second image data obtained by the controller; and
integrating, by the controller of the automated surgical hub system, the three-dimensional model of the visible surface with the first image data of the surgical site.
