This is a very trivial question!!
In some computer vision literature, side-lobes are mentioned.. what are they?…. Can’t seem to find anywhere that actually says what they are :S.
Thanks :).
This is a term from antenna theory. Antennas broadcast radiation (radio, microwave, light, infrared) in a certain pattern. Generally, there will be a preferred direction and most of the energy will be in that ‘main lobe’. However, there generally exists secondary directions (‘side lobes’) of energy transmission. Some times, side lobes are a not ideal and are engineered to a minimum. Other times, side lobes can be an advantage and are enhanced.
