a bas-relief rubbing fails 3D criteria

. . . in referece to the wikipedia text, Using a Bas-Relief

With computer software we can plot the relative lighter and darker areas seen in the images and produce a three-dimensional terrain map of the body. With computerized virtual reality we can view the body from different angles. We can see the slope of the nose, the recesses of the eye sockets and the shape of the torso. It seems that the image is a graphic representation of the distance between any part of the body and the cloth.

This is not a bas relief which is essentially a two-dimensional rubbing.

the image plots to 3d terrain map; a photograph will not plot such a 3D representation
