I used the LG-P920 stereo cell phone to take the stereo image of a substance, let's say apple. I want to estimate the volume of this apple. Are there any functions/algorithms in OpenCV that can be used to roughly estimate the volume of such a substance? Thank you very much.

You can use OpenCV watershed for segmenting any object using marker. After segmention you can fond out the area of the object in pixels. You can find watershed.cpp demo in OpenCV samples directory.
