Normalized distance between 3d/2d points

I have a project using 3d facial feature points from kinect sensor. I need to calculate distance between some points so that I get a distance that is invariant to scale, translation, rotation. I read that I needed to compute normalized distance between points but I don't know how to do that. I looked on google but didn't get a mathematical formula. If someone could help me or at least give me tips to documentation to do that. Thank you.

You can calculate a normalized Euclidean distance between vectors x, y (from same distribution) with:

enter image description here

where s is a standard deviation of x and y. In general you can look at Mahalanobis distance
