Persistent scatterer (PS) interferometry and more recently synthetic aperture radar tomography have shown to be powerful tools in urban scenarios for providing 3-D point clouds in the reconstruction of buildings as well as in the monitoring of their possible slow temporal deformations. The detection of PSs represents a fundamental aspect, which in the literature has been mainly addressed at full resolution (single-look detection), thus considering only the scatterer coherence properties along the different acquisitions. In this paper, we investigate the benefits offered by the usage of multiple observation looks. Multi-look generalized likelihood ratio test detection schemes are derived and analyzed in terms of detection performances. The analysis shows that even a slight multi-look can provide a dramatic improvement on the detection capability both on simulated and real data, especially in the areas characterized by a low signal-to-noise ratio and in the presence of a limited number of acquisitions.
