I'm looking into that same subject myself.
What I have found so far is as follows:
1. Windows Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms867188.aspx
2. Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms630368.aspx
I have the USB Design by Example book which has a chapter on DirectShow and USBCams - so I'm looking at that.
you could try openCV. I don't remember the project website, but you can google it :)
I was wondering this too but where it was cross platform also.
