This is the eleventh 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 provide a convenient means of literature searching facility for readers working in related areas

and to supply a useful reference for the editors of journals and potential authors of papers.Considering the wide distribution of related publications in China

656 image engineering research and technique references are selected carefully from 2 734 research papers published in 112 issues of a set of 15 Chinese journals.These 15 journals are considered as important journals in which papers concerning image engineering have higher quality and are relatively concentrated.Those selected references are classified first into 5 categories(image processing

image analysis

image understanding

technique application and survey)

and then into 23 specialized classes according to their main contents(Considering the progress of image engineering

2 new classes for focal topics are added this year).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.It should be pointed out particularly that

in 2005 the number of research papers for image engineering

published in the above 15 journals attends a new stage in the history.A tendency of continuing development of image engineering in China is clearly visible.
