Abstract

The Visible Human is a large data set of digitized images of a male and female human body. We discuss the issues involved in providing users with remote access to this data using the World Wide Web. In particular, we describe the design and implementation of a Web-based viewer for the Visible Human images, using a Java applet interface to enable the user to select the type of data and the desired sectional slice. We also investigate additional capabilities that can be provided by utilizing server-side programs and databases. Many of the issues discussed are relevant to general Web-based digital multimedia repositories.
