Museums and Cultural Heritage institutions have a growing interest in presenting their collections to a broader community via the Internet. The photo-realistic presentation of interactively inspectable virtual surrogates is one of the most challenging problems in this field. For this purpose, we seek to employ not only a 3D geometry but also a powerful material representation capable of reproducing the full visual appeal of an object. In this paper, we propose a WebGL-based presentation framework in which reflectance information is represented via Bidirectional Texture Functions. Our approach works out-of-the-box in modern web browsers and allows for the progressive transmission and interactive rendering of digitized artifacts consisting of 3D geometry and reflectance information. We handle the huge amount of data needed for this representation by employing a novel progressive streaming approach for BTFs which allows for the smooth interactive inspection of a steadily improving version during the download. We demonstrate an interesting use-case of this technique at a cross-section of Cultural Heritage, medical education and research and provide an evaluation of the capabilities of our framework in the scope of BTF compression and transmission.

“…The art of constructing such life-sized, three-dimensional replicas with wax casts (moulages) peaked in the early and mid-19th century during which time unusual cases, representations of common conditions including acne, and research findings were portrayed. 4,5 Based on the three-dimensional, fullsized representations of moulages, the authors' objective was to modernize this concept with contemporary materials by creating full-sized, silicone-based, facial replicas. These were constructed with predetermined type, number, and distribution of primary acne lesions.…”

[ O R I G I N A L R E S E A R C H ] ABSTRACT Background:The scientific integrity of outcome measurements is dependent upon reproducibility and accuracy. In acne assessments, there is no current gold standard for accuracy in lesion counting and global grading. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to create facial acne replicas for use in acne training and for evaluation of rater accuracy. Methods: Two full-sized, three-dimensional, silicone-based, facial replicas with predetermined acne lesion type and number were created. Their teaching value was evaluated by dermatologists and clinical coordinators undergoing training in acne evaluations. A questionnaire after the training session addressed realism, preferences, and ease of assessments with the facial replicas compared to live subjects. Results: Of 55 potential respondents, 32 questionnaires were completed and analyzable. Of these, 23 were from dermatologists and nine were from clinical research coordinators performing acne assessments. The facial replicas were considered sufficiently realistic for acne lesion counting by 91 percent (29/32) and for global grading by 94 percent (30/32). Of these, 66 percent preferred to have both real subjects and replicas for training (21/32), 31 percent preferred real subjects only (9/32), and one preferred replicas only. Replicas were considered easier to evaluate for noninflammatory and inflammatory lesions (p=0.002 and p=0.013, respectively) and equivalent to live models for global grading (p=0.001). Limitations: Shortcomings include the limited spectrum of acne that could be represented due to production of only two prototypes, the relative paucity of secondary lesions, and production time and cost. Conclusion: These facial replicas provide a realistic and practical method for teaching and evaluating raters in acne outcome measures as they provide a gold standard for acne lesion counts. Furthermore, their use may obviate some of the shortcomings inherent in recruitment of human acne volunteers for acne training sessions. (J Clin Aesthetic Dermatol. 2010;3(6):35-38.)
