### calculate distance from center of marker Aruco

Hello

I can currently identify an aruco marker with my webcam. I would like to know if it is possible to calculate the distance "D" between the camera and the Aruco marker, as in the following image.

Is it possible to find the angle "a" between the blue axis of the Aruco marker and the center of the camera image?

thanks

note: 3m distance is an example, I can get it through a rangefinder that measures the distance from the center of the camera to the center of the Arcuo marker

i'm using kyle-bersani code (https://github.com/kyle-bersani/opencv-examples):

import pickle

# Check for camera calibration data
if not os.path.exists('./calibration.pckl'):
print("You need to calibrate the camera you'll be using. See calibration project directory for details.")
exit()
else:
f = open('calibration.pckl', 'rb')
(cameraMatrix, distCoeffs, _, _) = pickle.load(f)
f.close()
if cameraMatrix is None or distCoeffs is None:
print("Calibration issue. Remove ./calibration.pckl and recalibrate your camera with CalibrateCamera.py.")
exit()

cam = cv2.VideoCapture(0)

while(cam.isOpened()):
# Capturing each frame of our video stream
if ret == True:
# grayscale image
gray = cv2.cvtColor(QueryImg, cv2.COLOR_BGR2GRAY)

# Detect Aruco markers
corners, ids, rejectedImgPoints = aruco.detectMarkers(gray, ARUCO_DICT, parameters=ARUCO_PARAMETERS)

# Refine detected markers

corners, ids, rejectedImgPoints, recoveredIds = aruco.refineDetectedMarkers(

rejectedCorners = rejectedImgPoints,
cameraMatrix = cameraMatrix,
distCoeffs = distCoeffs)

QueryImg = aruco.drawDetectedMarkers(QueryImg, corners, borderColor=(0, 0, 255))

if ids is not None:
try:
rvec, tvec, _objPoints = aruco.estimatePoseSingleMarkers(corners, 10.5, cameraMatrix, distCoeffs)
QueryImg = aruco.drawAxis(QueryImg, cameraMatrix, distCoeffs, rvec, tvec, 5)
except:
