Images from Digital Humans CD-ROM

The Digital Humans CD-ROM documents the digitization of male and female cadavers by the Visible Human Project. When the Visible Human datasets were released to the public a decade ago, I developed programs for segmenting and reconstructing 3D models using voxel-based computer graphics techniques. It's my intention to put into the public domain the full content of the CD-ROM, including a series of videos showing the actual digitization of the cadavers
