pkdsm2shadow - program to calculate sun shadow based on digital surface model and sun angles

pkdsm2shadow  is  a  utility  to  create  a binary shadow mask from a digital surface model, based on Sun
       zenith (-sza) and azimuth angles (-saa).

       Create a shadow mask for the input raster dataset dsm.tif, using Sun zenith angle of 10 degrees and a Sun
       azimuth angle of 135 degrees (South-South-East).  All shadow pixels are set to a value of 1.
