Claim 0:
1. A system for digital imaging comprising:
an image sensor comprises an array of pixels for sensing electromagnetic radiation;
an emitter configured to emit a plurality of pulses of electromagnetic radiation;
a control unit comprising a controller, wherein said control unit is in electrical communication with the image sensor and the emitter;
wherein the plurality of pulses of electromagnetic radiation comprise:
a first pulse comprising a first wavelength from a first partition of the electromagnetic spectrum;
a second pulse comprising a second wavelength from a second partition of the electromagnetic spectrum;

wherein the controller is configured to synchronize emission of each of the plurality of pulses of electromagnetic radiation to a plurality of frame capture periods of the image sensor;
wherein the image sensor captures a plurality of partition frames in the plurality of frame capture periods, the plurality of partition frames comprising:
a first partition frame corresponding to the first pulse; and
a second partition frame corresponding to the second pulse;

wherein the first partition frame and the second partition frame are combined to form a color image frame;
wherein the controller controls an intensity of each of the plurality of pulses of electromagnetic radiation such that the intensity of pulses varies from a frame capture to a subsequent frame capture.
