Image Engineering in China:2001
中国图像工程：2001

This is the seventh in the survey series of the yearly bibliographies on image engineering in China. The purpose of this survey work is mainly to capture the up to date development of image engineering in China, to supply a convenient means of literature searching facility for readers working in related areas, and to provide a useful reference for the editors of journals and potential authors of papers. Considering the wide distribution of related publications in China, more than 400 image engineering research and technique references are selected carefully from near 2300 research papers published in a set of 15 Chinese journals. These 15 journals are considered as important journals in which papers concerning image engineering are relatively concentrated. Those selected references are classified first into 5 categories and then into 21 classes according to their contents. Some analysis and discussions about the statistics made on the classification results are also presented. This work shows a general and off the shelf picture of the various progresses of image engineering in China. In 2001, the worth well notified are the more attention on image formation techniques, the newly arisen research hot points related to intellectual property protection, multi sensor fusion and high level semantic information, as well as the broaden of application domains of image techniques.
