AustinMan and AustinWoman: High-fidelity, anatomical voxel models developed from the VHP color images

The current versions (v2.3) of AustinMan and AustinWoman anatomical voxel models are presented with the methodology used to generate them from the Visible Human Project's color cross-sectional anatomical images. Both models are freely available online and documented in detail to increase their reproducibility. Visualizations of the models are shown to highlight their complexity.
