In general, no, there are issues involving perspective,
image location, and differences in apparent size versus actual size.

But you can perspective correct portions of an image and then use
those to map things like building faces, individually. It's just a lot of
work.

NASA uses some software that correlates depth info from stereographic
photos, and location info, and forms a mosaic 3D model for it's mars
rovers, but it's buggy and very clunky.
