1. A method of employing a dimensioning apparatus to characterize a number of physical dimensions of a load with respect to a reference coordinate system having a number of reference axes when the load is situated in a detected position that is offset from the reference coordinate system by a displacement that comprises at least one of a number of translations along at least some of the number of reference axes and a number of rotations about at least some of the number of reference axes, the method comprising:

  • identifying a number of points in space, at least some of which are each representative of a point on a surface of the load as situated in the detected position;

    receiving a number of signals that are representative of the displacement;

    based at least in part upon the number of signals, transforming at least some of the number of points in space into a number of transformed points in space that are each representative of a point on the surface of the load in a hypothetical position that corresponds with at least a portion of the reference coordinate system; and

    determining the number of physical dimensions based at least in part upon at least some of the number of transformed points in space.
