Image Engineering in China: 2007
中国图像工程：2007

This is the thirteenth in the survey series of the yearly bibliographies on image engineering in China. The main purpose of this survey work is to report the up-to-date development of image engineering in China, to provide a convenient means of literature searching facility for readers working in related areas, and to supply a useful reference for editors of journals and potential authors of papers. Considering the wide distribution of related publications in China, 895 references on image engineering research and technique are selected from 3 312 research papers published on a set of 15 Chinese journals around 118 issues. These 15 journals are important ones in which papers concerning image engineering have higher quality. Those selected references are classified into 5 categories (image processing, image analysis, image understanding, technique application and survey), and then into 23 specialized classes according to their main contents (similar like last year). Some analysis and discussions about the statistics made on the results of classifications by journal and by category are also presented. This work shows a general and off-the-shelf picture of the various progresses of image engineering in China in 2007. It should be pointed out particularly that, in 2007 the number of research papers for image engineering, published in the above 15 journals has greatly increased and staged in a new era in the history. A tendency of continuous development of image engineering in China shows great promise.
