Statistically, yes you can, you can use "stereology" (not related at all to sereoscopy or stereo views). See Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stereology John Russ has a good book on the topic and others are here: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_c_0_10?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=stereology&sprefix=stereology%2Caps%2C390 If you want range-type data from stereo views, then the Computer Vision Toolbox has functions for that.
