Absolutely, something like NIH can be used either for determining
where your robot is in the world (eg. with a fixed camera looking down at
your robot), or telling where things are relative to your robot with a
robot mounted camera.
There are a number of important issues to address, like
1) calibrating from Image Space which is usually in pixels, to world space,
which has real world units, or robot space, which is a coordinate system
attached to your robot.
2) figuring out what features can be measured reliably to give you useful
measurements in a non-structured scene
3) addressing the issue of getting 3 dimensional measurements from an
inherently 2 dimensional detector.
There are many solutions to each of these problems and you can have
a lot of fun exploring the possibilities.
