AFAIK the parameter roi in CameraInfo.msg can be used to choose a region of interest. Try republishing a camera info with the roi set to your object region. And use that to feed stereo_image_proc. If you just need some sampled 3D points you should use StereoCameraModel::projectDisparityTo3d. This is way faster than constructing a whole disparity image.
