I would highly recommend using Tracking Tools for this (or at least the Tracking Tools API). It contains all of the functions in the UI for calibrating and getting the point data with respect to your defined coordinate plane.

If you would like to do this with the camera SDK, it's possible, however you have to take care of calibrating the cameras and creating the methods of reconstructing the point cloud before you can get true 3 dimensional coordinates of points. The Tracking Tools API takes care of all of that for you.
