该文是中国多媒体技术研究与应用的年度文献综述之九。该文从刊登在2006年9种核心刊物上的2956篇论文中，选取了607篇多媒体技术相关的文章进行了分类、统计。考虑副多媒体技术发展所呈现出来的新特点，今年的分类方案相对以往年份有较大改动，以更好展现中国多媒体技术发展的现状和有助于准确预测其未来发展趋势。同时，通过对比前4年的统计结果可以看到，编码、数字水印、虚拟现实、超媒体、QoS、CSCW、P2P、多模态接口、普适计算环境、地理信息系统、数字地球和医学应用等这些热点技术持续受到高度的重视，另外，还统计比较分析了一些热点技术的发展过程和发展趋势。希望该文不仅能给从事多媒体技术研究与应用的人员提供系统的文献索引，也能为技术规划和管理人员提供参考。

As one of a serial of reports, this paper is a survey on multimedia researches and applications in China, 2006. Since multimedia is an interdisciplinary research area, papers about multimedia technology are distributed on various journals. We checked about 2956 papers published on 9 Chinese journals in 2006, from which we have selected 607 related to multimedia technology and application. Then we made statistical analysis on them and the compared them with those from 2002 to 2005. Considering the new feature of multimedia technology, we make significant modification to the categories of the papers for this year in order that the new categories can reflect the situation of multimedia technology in 2006 better and match its developing trend more exactly. Looking into the statistic results we can find that researchers in China are continuously paying much attention to codec, digital watermarking, virtual reality, hypermedia, QoS, CSCW, P2P, multimodal interface, infrastructure of pervasive computing, GIS and Digital Earth and medical application, 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, 2006. This article can be used by researchers as a thoroughly references, and also will be helpful for people in technical planning and management.
