Claim 18:
19. 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 each of the plurality of pulses comprise a duration, wherein the duration of a pulse of the plurality of pulses begins as the image sensor reads out the optical black back pixels and terminates during the readout of optical black front pixels of the image sensor.
