Since visible human visualization using cryosection images is still a challenge for its own difficulties such as color inhomogeneity between adjacent images, most visible human visualizations use pseudo color. In this paper, we propose a method to make cross-section image along human surface homogeneous, and provide a method to reconstruct and visualize 3D visible human with an approximate and reasonable real surface color. The visualization method consists of three components, which are preprocessing (registering image series, obtaining color checkers’ color and removing background), color correction (global color correction with the help of the color checker and local color correction by using adjacent image) and 3D visualization with color (smoothing model and generating color). The experiment on head data of Chinese Visible Human shows that our method is successful for the 3D reconstruction and color visualization.
