Claim 0:
1. A system comprising:
a light source, comprising:
a first emitter that emits a first partition of electromagnetic energy into a collection region;
a second emitter that emits a second partition of electromagnetic energy into the collection region;

an image sensor comprising a pixel array for sensing reflected electromagnetic energy in response to emissions of electromagnetic energy by the light source; and
a controller configured to coordinate timing between the light source and the image sensor;
wherein the first emitter emits the first partition of electromagnetic energy at a first angle and the second emitter emits the second partition of electromagnetic energy at a second angle; and
wherein the first angle and the second angle are substantially the same;
wherein the controller independently actuates each of the first emitter and the second emitter to pulse a plurality of pulses of electromagnetic energy;
wherein the image sensor reads out pixel data from the pixel array to generate an image frame, and wherein the image sensor generates a plurality of image frames.
