Abstract
Interferometry is a useful tool to separate planets from their parent star. In addition to make a direct detection (by a snapshot image or by visibility measurements), it can be used to provide an indirect characterization the planetary systems (their architecture, star-planet interaction etc) in different ways such as astrometry and stellar surface imaging. A comprehensive prospective review of all these approaches is given.
