Volumetric baseline image generation and object identification

A method, comprising:

• receiving, at a computer system, earth's surface data from one or more collectors, wherein the earth's surface data comprises three-dimensional data generated from radio frequency signals reflected from the earth's surface;
• generating, using the computer system, an initial version of a baseline three-dimensional map of earth's surface;
• subsequent to generating the initial version of the baseline three-dimensional map of earth's surface, determining a presence of one or more anomalies on the earth's surface based on a comparison of subsequently received data and the initial version of the baseline;
• determining, by the computer system, that a first one of the one or more anomalies matches an object having an object type;
• and
• in response to the determining, creating, by the computer system, a data structure that indicates the object type and a geographic location of the matched object, wherein the geographic location is usable to track the matched object during an analysis period.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by a computer system, causes the computer system to perform the following operations:

• generate an initial version of a baseline three-dimensional map of earth's surface based on earth's surface data received from one or more collectors, wherein the earth's surface data includes three-dimensional data generated from radio frequency signals from the earth's surface;
• determine a presence of surface features in the surface data, the surface features including natural and man-made features;
• based on a comparison of the baseline to subsequently received data, detect a presence of one or more anomalies on the earth's surface;
• determine that a first anomaly of one or more anomalies in the baseline matches an object having an object type;
• and
• create a data structure indicating the object type and geographic location data of the matched object, wherein the geographic location data is usable to track the matched object during an analysis period, wherein tracking the matched object includes tracking movement of the matched object.
