This project covers a photogrammetric survey in order to find the heighest sun exposure in a forest clearing. A new building will be build and an optimum location needed to be found for the solar panels on its roof. The task included the collection of a Digital Surface Model and its analysis, especially focussing on precise tree branches that could cast shade on the clearing.
