Abstract
A video camera for minimally invasive surgery is an important tool and should be smaller, lighter and provide high quality images but these cameras are very expensive, so use in simulators is to raise costs. The objective of this work is to implement image processing techniques and a system of magnifying lenses to improve the quality and realism obtained from commercial use webcams and replace the high-resolution camera on minimally invasive surgery simulators. An application of image processing is shown for a closed environment aimed at learning medical operations of minimally invasive surgery.
