Raspicam vs OpenCV VideoCapture #36

Can you please write a few sentences in the readme about what's the difference between OpenCV VideoCapture to the RaspiCam? Why/when should we use it?

If I am not mistaken raspicam uses mmal for interfacing the camera and VideoCapture uses the v4l2 interface which you can activate by doing this: sudo modprobe bcm2835-v4l2
