Official abstract text for this publication.
Indicia are imaged at a workstation having windows arranged in intersecting planes. The workstation also has solid-state imagers with fields of view that are split into intersecting subfields that look out through the windows, as well as illumination assemblies each having multiple light sources that illuminate each subfield with illumination light over an illumination field that overlaps a respective subfield. Light-modifying elements, such as lenses or baffles that are radially offset from the multiple light sources, condition the illumination light from the multiple light sources to be generally uniform in light intensity over at least one illuminated subfield.
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. An apparatus for imaging indicia, comprising: a housing; a window supported by the housing; a solid-state imager supported by the housing and having an array of image sensors with a field of view; an optical system supported by the housing and operative for splitting the field of view of the imager into a plurality of intersecting subfields of view that extend through and past the window to the indicia to be imaged; a plurality of illumination…
