1. A method for monitoring untagged objects in a target area, comprising the steps of:

  • calibrating a three dimensional radio environment monitoring system for a target area by recording a baseline data set of changes to an RF environment fingerprint of the target area received by the three dimensional radio environment monitoring system as the target area is filled with objects;

    each of a plurality of records of the baseline data set is averaged from multiple scans of the target area during a static object condition;

    scanning the target area with the three dimensional radio environment monitoring system for a current RF environment fingerprint;

    comparing the current RF environment fingerprint with the baseline data set by a rules engine; and

    reporting an output of the rules engine.
