Sensor assembly for acquiring images

A device comprising:

• a housing;
• an image sensor within the housing;
• a first light module within the housing at a first position that is a first distance from the image sensor, wherein the first light module emits first light at a first intensity;
• a first light bending film that directs at least a portion of the first light from a first angle relative to a field of view of the image sensor to a second angle relative to the field of view;
• a first polarizer that applies a first polarization to the at least a portion of the first light;
• and
• a second light module within the housing at a second position that is a second distance from the image sensor, wherein the second light module emits second light at a second intensity less than the first intensity;
• wherein the first distance is greater than the second distance.

A system comprising:

• an image sensor;
• and
• a first light module at a first position with respect to the image sensor, the first light module comprising:
• a first light source that emits first light at a first intensity and at a first angle relative to a field of view of the image sensor;
• a first light bending film positioned to redirect the first light from the first angle to a second angle relative to the field of view to direct the first light away from a center of the field of view in a first direction;
• and
• a first diffuser positioned to redirect a portion of the first light from a first portion of the field of view to a second portion of the field of view.

A device comprising:

• an image sensor, wherein the image sensor has a field of view;
• a first light source on a first side of the image sensor, wherein the first light source emits first light at a first angle relative to a center of the field of view;
• a first modifier positioned to direct the first light from the first angle to a second angle relative to the center, wherein the first light directed at the second angle is farther from the center than the first light emitted at the first angle;
• a second light source on a second side of the image sensor, wherein the second light source emits second light at a third angle relative to the center;
• and
• a second modifier positioned to direct the second light from the third angle to a fourth angle relative to the center, wherein the second light directed at the fourth angle is farther from the center than the second light emitted at the third angle.
