location of pointed at object
hello
i would like to know how to determine the location of an object pointed at by the camera on an ios and android,
My thinking is the location of the user/camera is determined by using the location services on the mobile device, utilize the compass and camera in the phone to determine the distance to object(building) in the center of the camera view?
utililize the distance and compass/angles to determine the lat/lon of the pointed at building. Reverse geo-code the coordinate to get the actual address.
Is this feasible? are there any API's provided by Android/IOS that would facilitate this?

You need ultrasonic emitter and sensor to calculate the distance in between the camera and the object to determine the distance.
Normally, the distance can be measured using the method in land surveying and two persons are needed to do the task.
As far as I know, no smartphone on market have the above capability.
