METHOD FOR DETERMINING VISIBLE LIGHT INTENSITY AT AN ILLUMINATION ZONE OF A SURGICAL LIGHT MODULE

Abstract: there is provided a method for determining visible light intensity at an illumination zone of a surgical light module. the surgical light module comprising a visible light system and a structured light system. the method comprises detecting an interference pattern, generated by visible light emitted by the visible light system and infrared light emitted by the structured light system, at the illumination zone. the method further comprises determining a visible light intensity value at the illumination zone, comprising inputting the detected interference pattern into an interference pattern recognition algorithm. the interference pattern recognition algorithm is generated using known interference patterns and corresponding light intensities.
