image-processing

While I have got some leads from an older SO post and from this site, I haven't been able to figure out how to capture each frame of a web-cam.

What I would like to do is something like this capture a frame then do some image processing on it and display the output and then move on to the next frame.
Can I can access to web-cam frame events or is there any efficient way to achieve this?
