Accessing USB camera on driver station laptop w/o Dashboard

[ricar144]

Hi,

Our team had set up vision processing to be done on the driver station laptop using OpenCV in Java. While all of that vision code is done, we very recently made the switch from the Axis IP camera to the Lifecam USB camera. Right now, I'm at a bit of a loss on how to grab images from that camera.

Is NetworkTables the way to go in this case? Are there any examples out there?

Thanks.
