Measure Distance From Camera

Hi everyone, I know that EZ camera will can do it but let me ask: it can measure distance from existing plugins on the web right now. I want to use it to measure the distance of the mouth, when opening the mouth, the distance is large and the robot will scoop food for you?. I plan to make this idea for people with parkinson. Thank you very much!:p

I think the FaceApi would be the way to go... https://ml5js.github.io/ml5-examples/p5js/FaceApi/FaceApi_Video_Landmarks/

Sample code is provided here... https://ml5js.github.io/ml5-examples/public/

But this is just something that popped up in my head, and I guess you would have to find a way to implement this... Or there is someone on the forum that can help implementing your idea!

Maybe there are other options, which are better...but this could be a starting point!! :)

thank you very much but the Sighthound Cloud API seems to be able to do this and I haven't tried it yet, look forward to hearing from you
