A steady increase in performance, functionality, and miniaturization has characterized the evolution of CMOS cameras. The first CMOS cameras were introduced in the early 1990s and were primarily used in low-end consumer electronics such as webcams and security cameras. These early CMOS cameras had limited resolution and image quality compared to CCD cameras, which were the dominant technology at the time.

However, over the past two decades, CMOS cameras have steadily improved performance, largely thanks to advances in CMOS technology and manufacturing processes. Today, CMOS cameras are used in various applications, including high-end professional photography, scientific research, medical imaging, and industrial inspection.

Programmable cameras have revolutionized modern medical applications, providing real-time imaging and analysis capabilities that greatly improve patient outcomes. These cameras are used in various medical applications, from endoscopy and surgical navigation to microscopy and telemedicine.

But how do programmable cameras work – and where are they used in the medical industry? And what are the main features required to power state-of-the-art medical applications?
