Re: Was Wondering how hard it would be to use a standard USB webcam with labview
I know you were asking about using a USB camera with Labview, but have you considered using Java? It has a number of tools built into the API that can handle video and image processing, even from a USB camera. Plus it has the extra advantage of being FREE. Plus a Google search revealed a number of sample programs to accomplish the task.

DISCLAIMER: I do almost all my programming in Java, so feel very comfortable with it. I have little experience with Labview and just get confused by all the blocks. That will be my project this Summer (to learn Labview)!
