Put a good quality "Lena" image in silx resources #1139

Open pierrepaleo opened 7 years ago

pierrepaleo commented 7 years ago

The current Lena is a poor quality image which seems to have been exported from jpg - if you look carefully, you can see block artefacts, even more when averaging the RGB components to get a grayscale image.

I propose to either get the version of en.wikipedia, or the one of old scipy versions.

Or the one without cropping...

I thought that Lena was removed from scipy as is was at least officially copyright-encumbered, plus other gender-neutral issues... The replacement images (scipy.misc.ascent() and face()) may be better choices, or another public domain image already in scikit-image: skimage.data.chelsea()...

I would also consider putting the npy version of it and not a png. At this moment there is a dependency on pillow just to read that image and convert it to a numpy array for the tests.

BTW could it be possible to provide a Brad Pitt version too?

Choubaka would be nice to no ? ( for fur texture of course)
