1. A digital imaging method comprising:
actuating an emitter to emit a pulse of a wavelength of electromagnetic radiation to cause illumination within the light deficient environment;
sensing reflected electromagnetic radiation from each of the plurality of pulses of electromagnetic radiation with a pixel array;
performing sensor corrections to compensate for detected motion;
generating a plurality of exposure frames from the sensed electromagnetic radiation, wherein the plurality of exposure frames comprises a luminance frame and a chrominance frame;
indexing the generated plurality of exposure frames;
determining a motion estimate based on the luminance frame; and
modulating the chrominance frame based on the motion estimate.
