中国图像工程及当前的几个研究热点

首先对图像工程及其三个层次给予概括介绍，并对中国图像工程文献综述系列的分类结果进行分析，由此归纳出近几年中国图像工程研究和应用的4个研究新热点。这4个处在图像工程三个不同层次的新热点分别是图像数字水印和图像信息隐藏，人脸和器官的检测、定位与识别，多传感器图像信息融合以及基于内容的图像和视频检索。文中对这4个新热点的基本情况、研究现状、技术原理、应用特点、存在问题、发展方向等进行了较为详细的介绍和讨论，为了解图像工程研究应用的情况和开展相关工作提供了参考。

Image Engineering in China and Some Current Research Focuses

This paper first gives a compendious introduction of image engineering and its three layers, and then analyses the classification results of the survey series of the yearly bibliographies on image engineering in China. From the analysis, four research hot points in the research and applications of image engineering in China are induced. These four hot points, named digital image watermark and information hiding, detection and recognition of human face and organ, multi sensor data fusion, content based visual information retrieval, are belong to the three layers of image engineering. The basic principal, current research situation, application particularity, existing problems, development trend and directions are detailed in the paper. This will provide some useful information for the research and application of image engineering and practical references for launching related development works.
