1. A dimensioning system comprising:

  • a range sensor for capturing range images of a field of view;

    a range-sensor support to physically support and position the range sensor in a range-sensor pose;

    a computing device communicatively coupled to the range sensor;

    a display communicatively coupled to the computing device; and

    a memory comprising adjustment software and dimensioning software;

    wherein, when the computing device executes the adjustment software, the adjustment software configures the computing device to;

    (i) receive range images from the range sensor, (ii) compute, using at least one of the range images, a pose difference, wherein the pose difference comprises a difference between an initial range-sensor pose and a target range-sensor pose, (iii) generate, based on the pose difference, at least one adjustment message to facilitate adjustment of the range sensor pose to more closely align with the target range-sensor pose, and (iv) transmit the at least one adjustment message to the display communicatively coupled to the computing device, andwherein, when the computing device executes the dimensioning software, the dimensioning software configures the computing device to derive, from at least one of the range images, dimensions of an object in the field of view.
