1. An apparatus for signal identification in a radiofrequency (RF) environment, comprising:
at least one node device including a processor and at least one memory;
wherein the at least one node device is operable to determine Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) data derived from RF data from the RF environment;
wherein the at least one node device is operable to average the FFT data into at least one tile;
wherein the at least one tile is visually represented as at least one waterfall image; and
wherein the at least one node device is operable to analyze the at least one waterfall image using machine learning (ML) or at least one convolutional neural network (CNN) to identify at least one signal, at least one signal type, and/or noise to create at least one analyzed waterfall image.
