How can I use webcam as input?

[RealBBakGosu]

Do you support the use of a webcam as an input tool?

@RealBBakGosu As of July 2019, we support only camera for mobile android through Android cameraX api. See all the mobile android examples particularly hello android

For webcam, this is something we will be looking into. If you like to contribute a calculator to use OpenCV functionality to import the video through a webcam you can write a calculator and import the below header files into your opencv_videolivecapature_calculator.cc

@mgyong but is there any example or documentation to write a custom calculator?
