Extracting the coordinates of objects has been done in the past using many methods with the most popular one being the use of Kinect Depth Sensors. However, these methods are expensive as the hardware costs are much higher than a normal RGB Camera. This paper presents a simple method to overcome the costs associated by eliminating the need for a depth sensor. The paper makes use of the YOLOv4 machine learning algorithm [6] for object detection and extraction of the co-ordinates using the Field of View of the camera using the Python package OpenCV.
