lenna

The Internet's first poster girl, a standard test load used in the image
processing community. The image was originally cropped from the November
1972 issue of Playboy Magazine , which anglicized the model's name with a
double n. It has interesting properties complex feathers, shadows, smooth
(but not flat) surfaces that are pertinent in demonstrating various
processing algorithms for image compression, filtering, dithering, texture
mapping, image recognition, and so on. After a quarter century of remaining
completely unaware that she had become an icon, a gray-haired but still
winsome Lenna finally met her fans at a computer graphics conference in
1997. There is a fan page at www.. org , with more details.
