image processing community. The image was originally cropped from the
November 1972 issue of <i class="citetitle">Playboy Magazine</i>, which
anglicized the model's name with a double n. It has interesting properties
&#8212; complex feathers, shadows, smooth (but not flat) surfaces &#8212;
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
<a href="http://www.lenna.org" target="_top">www.lenna.org</a>, with more
details. Compare <a href="../U/Utah-teapot.html"><i class="glossterm">Utah teapot</i></a>
