Use an alternative to the Lenna image #5

Hi,

The Lenna image used in the demo, which originates from Playboy magazine, is very often criticized:

The use of the image has produced controversy because Playboy is "seen (by some) as being degrading to women".[21] In a 1999 essay on reasons for the male predominance in computer science, applied mathematician Dianne P. O'Leary wrote:

Suggestive pictures used in lectures on image processing ... convey the message that the lecturer caters to the males only. For example, it is amazing that the "Lena" pin-up image is still used as an example in courses and published as a test image in journals today.[4]

Would you consider using an alternative image ?

Yes! It should be easy to swap the ‘lena’ dependency for ‘baboon-image’:

PR welcome!
