A fluttering illumination system and method for encoding the appearance of a moving subject includes an image capturing device, a lens, a shutter, an illumination source, and a device to control illumination triggering and power. The image capturing device may be configured in a bulb shutter mode to integrate light patterns from the object upon the sensor via the shutter until a shutter release is open. The control device may be invoked to trigger several illuminations of varying power in a predetermined sequence by rapidly turning the illumination source on and off when the shutter release is open. The shutter release may then be closed following the firing of a last illumination in order to invertibly encode the appearance of the moving subject in a single image. Data indicative of a motion blur associated with the image may be estimated and the image processed to recover a sharp image without noise and ringing artifacts.
