Abstract
Systems and methods for improving illumination of an imaging system are disclosed. An example system includes a housing having a handgrip portion and an upper body portion, and an imaging module positioned within the upper body portion. The imaging module includes an imaging assembly having an imager. The imaging assembly has a field of view (FOV) with a central axis passing through a window in the upper body portion. The system further includes an aiming assembly configured to provide an aiming pattern in the field of view of the imaging assembly, and an illumination assembly with one or more illumination sources and an illumination optical element. The illumination assembly is configured to provide illumination to a central region of the FOV of the imaging assembly. The illumination optical element is configured to receive illumination from the illumination sources, and generate an illumination field in the FOV of the imaging assembly.
