A method and apparatus for extracting three-dimensional (3-D) data from a target object is disclosed. A plurality of markers are formed on the object. A plurality of images are captured of the object. A first point is designated from a marker from one of the images and a line equation corresponding to the first point is determined. A second point in a marker in another image corresponding to the first point is determined and a second line equation corresponding to the second point is determined. The intersection of the two line equations is determined.
