This paper presents a study performed with high resolution simulated SAR data that outline the limitations of polarimetric coherent decompositions on vessel classification. In these days, these theorems have been set up as the most advisable alternative for this application but an evident lack of real data avoids know their true usefulness. In this way, this study overcomes this limitation opening the doors to other alternatives, which would provide better performances in this research line.
