Abstract
Aspects include a method, system, and computer program product for determining the location of an object relative to a reflective surface. The method includes acquiring an image of an object and the reflective surface with a camera, the camera positioned adjacent the reflective surface. The object is identified in the image. A reflection of the object on the reflective surface is identified in the image. Three-dimensional coordinates of at least a portion of the object are determined based at least in part on the object and the reflection of the object in the image.
