I came across Lena when I did Image Processing and Neural Networks in NTU. A very intelligent friend of mine knew the source of the photograph and told me that it was the photograph from playboy.

I was hooked. I mean, when was the last time science and playboy came together? I was very curious to know the full story. Now, Lenna.org has the full story and a link to the original picture (the picture contains nudity).

And what’s more, she is alive and the old sexy looks are gone and in place is a glow and beauty that grows with age! Welcome back Lena!

P.S. There is an internet censor body in Singapore! I wasnt allowed access to one of the links in the lenna.org pages. Gives me this:
