This is the thirteenth in the survey series of the yearly bibliographies on image engineering in China. The main purpose of this survey work is to report 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 editors of journals and potential authors of papers. Considering the wide distribution of related publications in China

895 references on image engineering research and technique are selected from 3 312 research papers published on a set of 15 Chinese journals around 118 issues. These 15 journals are important ones in which papers concerning image engineering have higher quality. Those selected references are classified into 5 categories （image processing

image analysis

image understanding

technique application and survey）

and then into 23 specialized classes according to their main contents （similar like last year）. Some analysis and discussions about the statistics made on the results of classifications by journal and by category are also presented. This work shows a general and off the shelf picture of the various progresses of image engineering in China in 2007. It should be pointed out particularly that

in 2007 the number of research papers for image engineering

published in the above 15 journals has greatly increased and staged in a new era in the history. A tendency of continuous development of image engineering in China shows great promise.
