Welcome to the open source community and OpenCV community in particular! To gain comprehensive details, I would suggest to go through OpenCV tutorials. They're easy and very informative. If you have a problem with a particular part of the tutorial, share your problem on OpenCV Answers. http://docs.opencv.org/doc/tutorials/introduction/table_of_content_introduction/table_of_content_introduction.html#table-of-content-introduction

What exactly do you mean by raw?

@thdrksdfthmn: I was confused too! Does raw mean the raw images? webcamera does support raw images. Or, does it mean the pixel value of the matrix? But I think @ademmler is asking how to get the frames from the webcamera (although they're not raw data).
