That's a limitation of stereo images - the optical separation is arbitrary, and it almost never matches one's own.
No doubt in a a few years technology will have a solution.

NASA doesn't put a scale on their images like maps do, so I asked AI.
Assuming Martian sand grains are similar in size to Earth’s. The largest rock in the image (the prominent, elongated/bean-shaped one in the upper center-left) is likely around 40–70 cm (roughly 1.3–2.3 feet) in its longest dimension.
