An autonomous cargo handling system is provided. The autonomous cargo handling system may comprise one or more sensing agents (110) in electronic communication with each other. One or more of the sensing agents (110) may be configured to monitor a sensing zone (118) in a cargo deck (12) to detect objects traveling through the sensing zone (118). In response to detecting an object, one or more sensing agents (110) may determine an object property based on the detected object. One or more sensing agents (110) may generate an object model based on the determined object properties. The sensing agents may also determine whether the detected object is a unit load device (ULD) or a non-ULD object based on the object property and/or the object model.
