1. A method for dimensioning an object, the method comprising: having a portion of an object in a field-of-view of a range camera of the dimensioning system; projecting, using a pattern projector, a light pattern into the field-of-view; capturing, using the range camera of the dimensioning system, a range image of the field-of-view, wherein each pixel of the range image represents a distance from the range camera to a respective point in the range camera's field-of-view; moving the dimensioning system and/or the object so that there is relative movement between the dimensioning system and the object, and the range camera's field-of-view contains a different portion of the object, wherein the moving of the dimensioning system and/or the object is automatic; repeating the capturing and the moving until a plurality of range images have been captured, wherein in each range image of the plurality of range images, each pixel of the range image represents a distance from the range camera to a respective point in the range camera's field-of-view; combining the plurality of range images to create a composite range-image; and dimensioning the object using the composite range-image.
