 Lenna
Over the years, the Lena image has been used so much that she is now dubbed the First Lady of the Internet!
While it was probably just a matter of chance that some researcher (probably someone who liked the image a lot for his personal reasons - note that I say his, not her), the image is now widely accepted as one that satisfied many of the requirements of a standard "test" image for image processing.
Lena visited the 50th Anniversary IS&T conference in Boston in May 1997.

 The Lenna Story
Lena Soderberg, nee Sjööblom, now lives near Stockholm and works for a government agency supervising handicapped employees archiving data using, appropriately, computers and scanners.
Over the years some researchers have complained that they lacked vital information about the Lena image, such as what type of scanner was originally used, what kind of camera and film.
IS&T is working with Playboy's archivist to re-scan Lena's image and compile all the missing information, including everything from the type of photo emulsion used to make the print to the technical specifications of the scanner.
