To summarize and promote the development of the new discipline——image engineering

a study for knowing and mastering the situation of related researchers is required. This paper

according to the principles and methods of bibliometrics

made a systematic investigation on the authors of articles published in 15 important journals in the last five years. All these journals are indexed in the survey series of“Image Engineering in China”. The statistics investigated include the number of authors

the author productivity

the number of collaborated publications

the average number of authors per paper

the active author group and the author variation ratio. Analysis and discussion on the statistics made are also presented. This work reveals the level

current status and alteration of researchers on image engineering

and provides useful information for summarizing the development

progress trends and application areas of image engineering in China.
