In order to intuitively test the effects of an image-processing algorithm on a "natural picture" a number of test images are in common use in the image-processing field. These images are generally chosen because they present a range of challenges to image reconstruction algorithms, such as the reproduction of fine detail and textures, sharp transitions and edges, and uniform regions. The most famous image is the Lenna image, from a photograph of 1972 Playboy bunny Lena Soderberg. Image of Lena Soderberg famously used in many image processing experiments Lenna is the name given to a portion of a centerfold picture of Lena Soderberg, a Swedish model posing naked in the November 1972 issue of Playboy magazine. ... The famous Lenna image. ...

Whether researchers are working on the development of a taxonomy or a thesaurus for an image collection or testing a content based image retrieval algorithm, a standardtest collection is invaluable if their research results are to have any wider impact.
There is a need for standardimagetest collections in order to address the disparity in image research, in terms of materials (images) used, and compare research results across studies.
The main purpose of this panel is to sensitize the image research community in general and ASISandT’s SIG/VIS () in particular with respect to the image retrieval evaluations and encourage researchers to make an effort in adopting standardimage collections for their future research.
