为了使人们对中国多媒体技术现状有个概略了解，特编写了中国多媒体技术研究与应用的年度文献综述之五.通过查阅国内 2 0 0 2年 9种核心刊物的 2 76 1篇文章，从中选取了 4 6 4篇与多媒体技术相关的文章，进行分类、统计，同时，结合前 4年的统计结果，又将近 5年的多媒体技术文献统计结果做了比较，由此可清楚地看到多媒体技术，尤其是热点技术的发展过程和发展趋势.该文不仅给从事多媒体技术研究与应用人员提供了一个很好的文献资料的索引，也给论文作者和刊物编辑人员提供了一个好的参考.

As one of a serial of reports, this paper is a survey on multimedia researches and applications in China, 2002. Since multimedia is a cross research area, papers about multimedia technology are distributed on various journals. We retrieved about 2761 papers published on 9 Chinese journals in 2002, from which we selected 464 ones on multimedia technologies and applications, then we made analyses on them, and the classified data were compared with that of 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2001. Looking into the data we can see that researchers in China pay more and more attention at digital watermarking, virtual reality, multimodal interface, multimedia data retrieval technology, quality of service, computer supported cooperative work, GIS and Digital Earth, which are also the international evolution trends in a quite long period. We present here an overview on the progress in multimedia technology in China, 2002. This will be convenient for researchers looking up references, and helpful for editors compiling journals and for authors contributing papers.
