A method of determining the physical dimensions of an object 6, the method comprising: capturing, using a dimensioning system 10, a range image; moving 12, 13 either the dimensioning system or the object; and capturing further range images covering different portions of the object. The range images are then combined (e.g., using image-stitching) to form a composite range-image, which can be used to measure the object's size. The dimensioning system may project a light pattern onto the object, capture an image of the reflected pattern, and observe changes in the imaged pattern to obtain the depth image. The dimensioning system or the object may be moved automatically or messages may be provided to guide a user to move them. |
