Development of Image Engineering in the Last 20 Years

Abstract

This chapter provides a summary of a bibliography series on image engineering (IE) for 20 years. This bibliography series already contains more than 12,000 publications selected from more than 50,000 publications in IE-related journals. Twenty years ago, a bibliography series on IE was started. With a set of carefully selected journals and a thorough reading on the papers published, several hundreds of papers related to IE have been chosen each year for further classification and statistical analysis. This chapter will present an overview of this survey series by showing the ideas behind and consideration on this work, as well as the comprehensive statistics obtained from this work. Some insights from it are also discussed.
