Abstract
Methods and apparatus for rapidly dimensioning an object are provided. An example method includes capturing, by a plurality of cameras, image data representative of an object; analyzing, by a processor, the image data to identify a plurality of candidate corners of the object; detecting, by the processor, a proximity of an appendage to each of the candidate corners; confirming, by the processor, based on respective proximities of the appendage to the candidate corners of the object, that a first one of the candidate corners is a corner of the object; and calculating, by the processor, based on the confirmed corner of the object, a dimension of the object.
