Well, I would like to ask, is there any function in opencv which can find the exact length and breadth of any object in a video or image.

thank you in advance vibin

I think that is possible if you can locate your object. As to the accuracy of your measurement, that all depends on how good your calibration between your cameras is.

@StevenPuttemans thank you very much for your reply :) to be very specific the object I mentioned in the above question is a railway track, well I would like to measure the perfect gauge(perpendicular length between edges) by a stereo vision cam. So far from my knowledge the depth can be calculated by the disparity maps.I am wondering about how to make a system when rolled over a railway track should sense the gauge difference or error between the respective tracks.Sorry in advance if my imagination doesn't make any sense :). Please please give me a lead to start off...
