In this paper some preliminary results on the classification of vegetation by means of the MetaSensing L-band fully polarimetric airborne radar sensor are shown. A test flight has been performed over two selected areas in the Netherlands, where ground truth surveys have been done to validate the outcome of the classification. The classification procedure is based on a eigenvalue/eigenvector decomposition of the coherency matrix of the fully polarimetric SAR data.
