It would be nice if it were that easy - but we take a lot for granted with regard to the feature recognition that our eyes and brains do. You really need structured lighting (laser lines) and controlled camera positioning to do it (or a specially painted object!). No doubt it will be done one day, by detailed and small pattern learning and recognition, but I don't think we're near it yet, at the prices game producers could pay.
