This mostly falls under the topic photogrammetry, usually using perspective
geometry. There is one free (open source I believe) camera calibration
package made by a University professor...can't remember the details and
can't find the link. If you search enough, you may be able to find it.

What you're asking is possible though. It's used with "augmented reality"
applications. For instance, mapping a little 3d object to stand on a piece
of paper with a few special markers on it. If you google augmented reality,
you'll find many many interesting videos about it.

I know I haven't helped you much, but, it may help you find something. If
you do, I'd love a link to it. ;-)
