With the rise of efficient microcontroller video codecs (e.g., hardware H.264 encoders on Raspberry Pi Pico or ESP32-S3), some argue that MJPEG is obsolete. However, for ultra-low-power (1–2 mA wake mode) or extremely cheap silicon ($1 MCUs without hardware video encoding), MJPEG 160-128 remains the de facto standard. : Balance the JPEG "Q" factor
Flir Lepton and other thermal camera modules output resolutions like 160x120 or 80x60. Some industrial sensors (e.g., Panasonic Grid-EYE) output 64x64 or 128x128. To standardize video pipelines, engineers upscale or pad to , then compress as MJPEG for recording or streaming. However, for ultra-low-power (1–2 mA wake mode) or

Developing for MJPEG at a 160x128 resolution typically involves working with low-power embedded systems, such as
