Measuring cubic boxes with credit card (L x w x h)

Hi all!

I recently came across OpenCV and saw all the great ways people are using it! I want to see if it is possible to do the following:

Take an object of a known size, for example a credit card and place it over an unknown box/cuboid/rectangular prism of unknown size. I want to be able to measure length, width and height. Accuracy can be within 1". See the attached picture of white box with a red credit card on the corner.

Is this possible? What would be a good resource to start? Thanks in advance!
