Summary:The present invention relates to a method for characterizing a zone of land, referred to as the target zone, intended for the installation of photovoltaic panels, the method comprising:receiving a bird's eye image of a target zone,detecting, in the image, a shadow cast over the target zone originating from an obstacle,determining a dimension, referred to as the main dimension, of the detected cast shadow,determining the position of the sun during the acquisition of the image on the basis of characteristics relating to the image,determining the height of the obstacle on the basis of the main dimension and the determined position of the sun, andcharacterizing the target zone on the basis of the height determined for the obstacle.
