Dual-mode endoscopic capsule with image processing capabilities

There is presented an endoscopic capsule (100) comprising a first imaging system (101, 110, 112) and a second imaging system (102, 110, 112), wherein the first imaging system is arranged for obtaining images at a broader spectral range than the second imaging system, the endoscopic capsule further comprising a processor (114), wherein the endoscopic capsule is arranged for operating in any one of a first mode wherein a frame rate of the first imaging system is higher than a frame rate of the second imaging system, and a second mode wherein the frame rate of the second imaging system is higher than the frame rate of the second imaging system in the first mode, wherein the processor (114) in the first mode is arranged for accessing one or more images from the first imaging system, detecting if there is a polyp (104) in the one or more images from the first imaging system, and switching from the first mode to the second mode if a (polyp 104) is detected in the one or more images from the first imaging system.
