该文是关于中国图象工程的年度文献综述系列之七。为了使国内广大人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，以及能方便地查询有关文献，现从2001年国内15种有关图象工程重要中文期刊的共108多期上发表的近2300篇学术研究和技术应用文献中，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将其分入5大类，又进一步分入了21小类，并进行了统计和分析。根据统计分析结果可见，中国图象工程在2001年又有了许多新进展，如对成象技术的进一步重视，及其在知识产权保护、多传感器图象融合、高层语义信息等相关方面均形成了新的研究热点，而且图象技术的应用面也在不断拓宽。

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.
