Researches on Multimedia Technology in China, 2003
中国多媒体技术研究：2003

As one of a serial of reports, this paper is a survey on multimedia researches and applications in China, 2003. Since multimedia is a cross research area, papers about multimedia technology are distributed on various journals. We checked about 3 143 papers published on 9 Chinese journals in 2003, from which we have selected 436 on multimedia technology and application. Then we made analysis on these selected papers and the statistics were compared with those from 1999 to 2002. From the results we can find that researchers in China pay more and more attention to digital watermarking, virtual reality, multimodal interface, multimedia data retrieval technology, quality of service, computer supported cooperative work, GIS and Digital Earth, which are also the international evolution trends in a quite long period. We present here an overview on the progress in multimedia technology in China, 2003. This article will provide the researchers looking up references with great convenience, and also will be helpful to editors compiling journals and for authors contributing papers.
