need help to change this code to live web cam streaming

Hello I followed this video(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3ac5rFMNZ0) and it was perfectly worked.. but when i change code for web cam capturing it only gets static image.. then i commented lines 54 - 58, lines 177 - 183,(as mentioning in video comment) but still not working... Anyone knows to solve this.I need to apply this to my conveyor design undergraduate project to count objects.. Below shows my edited code(only main cpp)....
