We have produced improved photo-realistic views of
anatomical structures for medical education combining
data from photographic images of anatomical surfaces
with optical, CT and MRI volumetric data such as
provided by the NLM Visible Human Project. Volumetric
data contains the information needed to construct 3D
geometrical models of anatomical structures, but cannot
provide a realistic appearance for surfaces. Nieder has
captured high quality photographic sequences of anatomy
specimens over a range of rotational angles. These have
been assembled into QuickTime VR Object movies that
can be viewed statically or dynamically. We reuse this
surface imagery to produce textures and surface
reflectance maps for 3D anatomy models to allow viewing
from any orientation and lighting condition. Because the
volumetric data comes from different individuals than the
surface images, we have to warp these data into
alignment. Currently we do not use structured lighting or
other direct 3D surface information, so surface shape is
recovered from rotational sequences using silhouettes and
texture correlations. The results of this work will be used
to improve the appearance and generality of models used
for anatomy instruction with the PSC Volume Browser.
