In this paper, an unsupervised Wishart classification scheme for polarimetric interferometric SAR data sets is introduced. A 6x6 polarimetric interferometric coherency matrix is used, in order to take simultaneously into account the full polarimetric information from one single image and the coherency information between the pair of these images. This classification scheme is applied to full polarimetric interferometric L-band SAR image pairs of Tien Shan, China, acquired by the NASA/JPL SIR-C/X-SAR sensor in 1994. The results show that this scheme can identify different terrain types and at the same time keep thr details of surface features, which improve greatly the results of the polarimetric unsupervised Wishart classification.
