So you're assuming that as your distance from the target changes, so will its height in your camera's field of vision at a predictable rate? I'd recheck that assumption if I were you. If you're only moving in the axis orthogonal to the goal, this would be true. But does it hold true once you introduce the second (or third) axes of motion?
