In this paper, we show that polarimetric and interferometric SAR (PolInSAR) images can be efficiently partitioned into homogeneous regions with a statistical technique based on minimization of a parameter-free criterion. This technique consists of finding a polygonal partition of the image that minimizes the stochastic complexity, assuming that the image is made of a tessellation of statistically homogeneous regions. The obtained results demonstrate that a global partition in statistically homogeneous regions of PolInSAR images can provide better results than a partition based on a single characteristic such as polarimetry or interferometry only.Index Terms-Image segmentation, polarimetric interferometry, SAR interferometry, SAR polarimetry, synthetic aperture radar (SAR).
