USB Camera Capture Sample

The USB Camera Capture sample enables capturing from generic USB cameras. The sample opens an X window showing the output of a camera. Note that this sample is not designed to be used with a specific brand of USB cameras (such as Point Grey), for which specific support may be provided through other samples. This sample is compatible with Linux/Windows and DRIVE PX 2.
