为了使国内广大从事图象工程研究和图象技术应用的科技人员能够较全面地了解国内图象工程研究和发展的现状，并能够方便地查询有关文献，现从2000年在国内15种有关图象工程重要中文期刊上发表的2100余篇学术研究和技术应用论文中，选取出400多篇属于图象工程领域的文献，然后根据各文献的主要内容进行了分类统计分析，其中，类别划分还结合国内图象工程的发展，增加了有关新热点的类别。根据统计分析可见，我国图象工程2000年年又有了许多新的进展，如有关知识产权保护、人机交互、多媒体信息处理等新研究热点的文献大幅度增，图象技术的应用面也正不断拓宽。

This is the sixth in the survey series of yearly bibliographies on image engineering in China. Considering the current status of the researches on image engineering and the applications of image techniques as well as the distribution of related publications in China, more than 400 research and technique references are carefully selected by counting on their topics from more than 2100 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. These references are classified into different categories according to their contents. Some analysis and discussions of the statistics made on the classification results are also presented. At this great milestone that we step into the new millennium, some new classes related to emerging research hot points are added. This work shows a general and up to date picture of the progresses of image engineering in China. It also supplies a convenient means of literature searching for readers doing researches and/or applications in this field, and provides a useful reference for the editors of journals and potential authors of papers.
