Dear all,
I'm currently looking into using the full-color data form the visible human project in an imaging viewer, please see:

.I have not however been able to locate the datasets from the VHP without the blue background from the dyed gelatin solution fluid used.
Do any of you have these data without the blue stuff available or do you happen to know where they can be obtained?
Kind regards
I dont know of any public data sets with the "blue" removed but you can remove the "blue" with image or photo processing software. Photoshop has an option to remove a specific color including setting the tolerances of that color range. To do a stack of images you would use the batch mode in Photoshop. Gimp and ImageMagick also have options to remove a specific color with tolerances. To save the removed "blue" into transparency it is recommended to save your files as PNG. I do know of a project that is similar to what you want to do. In this project they converted raster images into a massive point cloud and in this project the "blue" was removed or made transparent. Here is a link to the software tools they used. This may help you remove the "blue" for what you want to do (they took image sequences and converted each into PLY format) :

Hope this helps you on your quest.
Mr. Reyes,
Thank you for your elaborate answer. I ended up with a solution where I converted each RGB pixel to HSV format and specified a Hue range to remove and ended up with an acceptable solution.
