My favorite work in this vein is still the guy who did the trigonometry to convert a year+ worth of telemetry from a light level sensor in his back yard to paint a picture of the tree canopy. Each day is a scan line of light and dark patches at a different solar inclination. So everything above the sensor eventually got “painted”.
Oh gosh it's been a while. I thought it might have been in r/dataisbeautiful but I'm coming up with nothing. I have a vague recollection of what the picture looked like but search isn't turning it up.

Have you got a link or do you remember the name of this person?
