Abstract: An illumination chamber for illuminating an object with substantially uniform illumination and providing an image of the object, the illumination chamber includes a generally 6-faced polyhedron opaque housing, which encloses a light mixing chamber. The housing includes an object transparent glass sheet, an image transparent glass sheet and at least one light source disposed inside the housing. The object transparent glass sheet is disposed at a first of the two larger faces of the 6-faced polyhedron and image transparent glass sheet is disposed at the second large face of the 6-faced polyhedron, opposing the object glass sheet. The object to be images, typically a document, is disposed immediately adjacent to the external surface of the object transparent glass sheet. The image of the objects exits the housing through the image transparent glass sheet.

Abstract: A duplex imaging apparatus for imaging at least one side of a document, including a processor and lower and upper imaging devices. Each imaging device includes an optical-chamber, a camera and a light-source-configuration, facilitated to directly illuminate each face of the document from at least two illuminating angles. The lower imaging device is enclosed by a glass-window, wherein the document is operatively disposed on the glass-window. Each of the light source configurations includes at least one cluster of light sources, wherein the clusters of light sources are operated in a preconfigured sequence. Direct illumination forms hotspots in the acquired image frames at preconfigured locations, corresponding to the light sources positioning. The processor is facilitated to cutout preconfigured image frame portions containing the hotspots, forming clean portions of the image frames, and to combine the clean portions to form a clean output image frame.

Abstract: An imaging device for imaging a document including an enclosed imaging-optical-chamber, a processor, a camera mounted inside the imaging-optical-chamber, at least two clusters of light sources disposed inside the imaging-optical-chamber, for directly illuminating of the document, and a glass-window. The clusters of light sources are operated, one at a time, in a preconfigured sequence, and the camera is preconfigured to acquire an image frame of the document, operatively coupled with the activation of each of the clusters. The direct illumination causes formation of hotspots in the acquired image frames at preconfigured locations, corresponding to the preconfigured positioning of the clusters. The processor is facilitated to cutout the preconfigured image frame portions containing the hot spots, forming clean portions of the acquired image frame, and to combine the clean portions of acquired image frame to form an output image frame of the document.
