Claim One:
1. A method, comprising: capturing, using a dimensioning system with a sensor, at least one range image of an object in at least one field-of-view; calculating dimensional data of all of the at least one range images and storing the results; wherein, the number of views captured is automatically determined based on the following modes: a first mode is automatically used if the object is a cuboid, or has no protrusions and only one obtuse angle that does not face the point of view, where the first mode captures a single view of the object; a second mode is automatically used if the object includes a single obtuse angle that faces the point of view and no protrusions, where the second mode captures two views of the object; or a third mode is automatically used if the object includes a protrusion and/or more than one obtuse angle, overhang, protrusion, or combinations thereof, where the third mode captures more than two views of the object.
