A dimensioning system that analyzes a distance map for null-data pixels to provide feedback is disclosed. Null-data pixels correspond to missing range data and having too many in a distance map may lead to dimensioning errors. Providing feedback based on the number of null-data pixels helps a user understand and adapt to different dimensioning conditions, promotes accuracy, and facilitates handheld applications.

The method according to claim 1, wherein the error feedback comprises illuminated indicators and/or graphics displayed by the dimensioner. 14. The method according to claim 1, wherein the error feedback comprises an indication that the object color is too dark or that the lighting is insufficient. 15. A system, comprising: a dimensioning subsystem comprising at least one image sensor for capturing range data of an object or objects within a field-of-view; anda processor communicatively coupled to the at least one image sensor, wherein the processor is configured to: receive range data from the dimensioning subsystem;create a distance map from the range data;process the distance map to obtain a distance-map quality comprising a sum of the number of pixels in the distance map having insufficient information to determine distance; andgenerate an error feedback if the distance-map quality is below a minimum-quality threshold. 16. The system according to claim 15, wherein the dimensioning subsystem comprises a pattern projector, the pattern projector projecting a light pattern on the object or objects in the field-of-view. 17. The system according to claim 15, wherein the error feedback comprises user guidance information to facilitate the repositioning of the dimensioner to capture range data having an improved distance-map quality. 18. The system according to claim 15, comprising a user-interface subsystem for displaying dimension measurements and the error feedback. 19.
