Convert Image Points to Azimuth and Elevation

I'm tracking objects in an image and I want to record each point, but I want to use world, coordinates instead of image coordinates specifically azimuth and elevation. The two values need to be represented in degrees and scaled to 32-bit integers.

Two questions:

What is the proper transform to use and what are the parameters? I can fake the camera intrinsics just to get something working, but I'm not sure that I have enough information.

Does OpenCV have this capability built in? This seems like a common problem and I would think OpenCV or Numpy would have methods to solve this problem I'm just unfamiliar with them.
