I don't believe it's possible with a single camera source. Mainly because the elevation would be impossible to calculate without more detail about the object. IE it's exact size, and relative size on the screen, compared to some reference. However, if you have two or more cameras, with a fixed distance between them, you could then triangulate to the object to get that information.

Once you have that information, sending the coordinate to a secondary device for closer inspection is easily accomplished.
