1. A method for dimensioning an object, the method comprising: positioning a dimensioning system so that at least a portion of an object is contained in the dimensioning system's field-of-view; capturing, using the dimensioning system, a range image of the field-of-view; moving either the dimensioning system or the object so that the dimensioning system's field-of-view contains a different portion of the object; repeating the capturing and the moving until a plurality of range images have been captured; combining the plurality of range images to create a composite range-image; and dimensioning the object using the composite range-image.
