Access Stream of USB Camera

So my team is using a vision tracking program called TowerTracker and we're planning on running it on the driver station. To use it we obviously need a stream to process images from. It seems fairly straightforward to access the video stream of a network/axis camera by using its IP. However, we'd prefer to use a USB camera connected to the RoboRIO. Has anyone successfully accessed the video feed of a USB camera from somewhere other than in SmartDashboard?

Thanks a lot!
Becker
