Abstract

In this paper we present a software whiteboard for multimedia conferences. The whiteboard is specialised to load and share high-resolution colour images while using colour management functions to provide an accurate colour representation. The whiteboard is used in the telemedicine project INTER-FACE, which builds a virtual environment for tele-consultations between specialists in pre-operative treatment and the planning of the cranio-maxillofacial surgery for patients with facial abnormalities.
