Abstract: A system for generating a three-dimensional map of earth's surface and identification of objects is disclosed. The system is configured to receive data, from one or more collectors, comprising three-dimensional data generated from radio frequency signals reflected from earth's surface. The system is further configured to generate an initial version of a baseline three-dimensional map of earth's surface, wherein generating the three-dimensional map includes determining, based on the surface data, a presence of surface features in the earth's surface. Anomalies may be detected based on a comparison of subsequently received data and the baseline, with the system determining that a first anomaly matches an object having an object type. Based on this determination, the system may create a data structure indicating an object type and a geographic location of the matched object, wherein the geographic location data is usable to track the matched object during an analysis period.
