Yep. Even in the real world, they don't do photo analysis of real objects taken by photograph: they sketch.

I think we can conclusively say that any and all attempts to stadia and pull calculations from anime have been busted, since this isn't even used in the real world.

Also note that when Mythbusters use stadia-ing they have marked backdrops behind whatever they're tested.
