Bear in mind that computer vision has used a cropped image of Lena Söderberg (i.e. the infamous Lena image) for decades now. If you believe the anecdote, the image was not chosen as an in-joke or as a way of sexualising women. The researchers needed a high quality image of a human face (hence they cropped out her body) and they were tired of stock images. Someone in the lab had a playboy magazine and history was made. Most people have no idea that the full version of the image even exists.

The image is so famous that Lena herself was invited as a guest to ICIP 2015 and chaired the best paper award. I think she also gave a talk. I dare say she doesn't have a problem with it.
