Fuzzers can also create glitchy images: https://lcamtuf.blogspot.com/2014/11/pulling-jpegs-out-of-th...

I have seen that image of the woman wearing the round hat and looking in to the camera in several image processing articles or tutorials now. Is there a story there? Ie is it a/the standard image people use to demonstrate something in image processing (similar to writing "Hello World" for programming languages, or printing Benchy for 3D printing)?

It’s a photo of Lena.

“Lenna or Lena is the name given to a standard test image widely used in the field of image processing since 1973. It is a picture of the Swedish model Lena Forsén, shot by photographer Dwight Hooker, cropped from the centerfold of the November 1972 issue of Playboy magazine.”
