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.lenna.org, with more details. Compare 
    Utah teapot and Stanford Bunny
