Methods and apparatus for dimensioning an object using proximate devices

A system for enlisting proximate image capture devices for capturing image data representative of an object from multiple perspectives, the system comprising:

• a plurality of image capture devices;
• memory configured to store computer executable instructions;
• and
• a processor configured to interface with the plurality of image capture devices and the memory, and configured to execute the computer executable instructions to cause the processor to:
• capture, by a first image capture device, first image data representative of an object from a first perspective;
• determine whether a second image capture device is within proximity of the first image capture device;
• and
• when the second image capture device is within proximity of the first image capture device, send a request to the second image capture device to cause the second image device to capture second image data representative of the object from a second perspective, wherein the first image data and the second image data are combinable to form a composite representation of the object.
