The difference between high relief and low relief is that high relief has more depth and low relief is more casual and not as 3D. In high relief, it's much closer to 3D.
Low relief sculpture is a technique in which the subject of the sculpture is just barely more prominent than the background. High relief sculpture is a technique in which the subject of the sculpture is very raised and extremely prominent against the background.
In the round sculptures tend to free standing three dimensional forms -think of bronze statues or the lions in trafalgar square. In relief tend to be built up or carved out from a flat surface - medals and coins are good examples, they can still look three dimensional in that they have raised areas but the head on a coin is very different from the head of a bust. In relief sculpture can also stand up and you can walk around it however the proportions will not be right - in our head example the head could be on one side only with a flat back, or if the sculpture was in relief on both sides it would look like it had been severely squashed either side making an extremely thin face.

intaglio is when a design is carved into a surface such that it appears as a depression. cameo is when the required design appears as relief left remaining on the surface as the unrequired material is chipped away. it appears raised or as an embossing on the surface.

A cameo surface is a raised relief design carved into a material, such as stone. It is usually used in jewelry. An intaglio surface, on the other hand, is an engraved or incised design that is pressed into a material, leaving a depressed image. Intaglio is commonly used in printmaking and engraving.
what is differenc between high relief and normal relief
The difference between high relief and low relief is that high relief has more depth and low relief is more casual and not as 3D. In high relief, it's much closer to 3D.
Intaglio: image is etched into the surface, smeared with ink (which sticks in the recessed areas), and (using damp paper) put through a press. The ink is transferred from the recessed areas to the paper. Relief: Pretty much the opposite; the parts you don't want are carved away, ink rolled on, and dry paper pressed onto it. In layman's terms, it's a big stamp.
