CMOS sensor stands for Complimentary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor sensor and CCD sensor is

Charged Coupled Device sensor.

Both CCD and CMOS image sensors convert light into electrons by capturing light photons with
thousands—or millions—of light-capturing wells called photosites. When an image is being taken,
the photosites are uncovered to collect photons and store them as an electrical signal.

In a CCD device, the charge is transported across the chip and read at one corner of the chain, and
an analog-to-digital converter turns each charge into a digital value whereas in most CMOS devices,
there are several transistors at each photosite that amplify and move the charge using more
traditional wires. This makes the sensor more flexible for different applications, because each
photosite can be read individually. Hence, the key differences that can be noticed from this are –

 CCD sensors create high-quality, low-noise images. CMOS sensors are usually more susceptible
to noise.
 Because each photosite on a CMOS sensor has several transistors located next to it, the light
sensitivity of a CMOS chip tends to be lower than a CCD sensor chip.
 CCD sensors consume a lot more power than an equivalent CMOS sensor.
 Overall, CMOS sensors are much less expensive to manufacture than CCD sensors and are
rapidly improving in performance, but CCD sensors may still be required for some demanding
applications

Other differences are –

 CCDs use a global shutter, which exposes the entire image simultaneously. This can lead to blur if
any motion occurs in the image during exposure but it can be prevented by adjusting the shutter
speed. On the other hand CMOS sensors are equipped with “rolling shutters,” which expose
different parts of the frame at different points in time. This can lead to skew, wobble and partial
exposure in photographs.
