My suggestion would be to modify your Dashboard app (SmartDashboard or whatever), which is probably the one requesting the image, to either forward the JPG data or decompressed image data to a DLL where your C++ code runs. If you prefer, you can have your C++ code directly get the image from the camera using HTTP, or you can even write the dashboard in C++. The dashboard doesn't even need to display much.

The Driver station automatically launches a process called Dashboard.exe, and that is why I recommend changing the dashboard. You can also edit the ini file for the driver station to run whatever command line you wish, or you can get your dashboard to launch a C++ process.

Your options are very open, but it will take some effort to do it.
