Internet imaging differs from other forms of electronic/digital imaging in that it employs an internet (network of networks) as a transmission vehicle. However, the internet is only one component (albeit a major one) in the total imaging system. The total system comprises client applications internetworked with server applications, as well as off-line authoring tools.
The Internet is an evolving communication system. Its functionality, reliability, scaling properties, and performance limits are largely unknown. The transmission of images over the Internet pushes on its engineering envelope more than most applications. Consequently, the issues we are interested in exploring pertain to all aspects of the total system; not just images or imaging algorithms.
Internet imaging includes such applications as:
but is exclusive of applications like:
All potential authors should address each of the imaging system components in terms of the various tradeoffs that inevitably must be made to optimize functionality, performance, and reliability at their particular choice of system scale. They should also provide some assessment of how their choices might change if the system scale was increased, e.g., from prototype to production scale.
The main new activity is an Internet image retrieval contest called Benchathlon. A database will be prepared in the summer of 2001 and the contest will be held live during EI 2002.

Previous position statement
Internet imaging is different from other electronic imaging fields in that it studies systems instead of the components of systems. Systems are designed top down and the integration of the components is more important than the components themselves. For example, when designing a system it is more important to balance the components instead of optimizing each one independently.
Systems are multi-dimensional, with dimensions such as architecture, performance, and reliability. However, there are less degrees of freedom than variables; this requires designers to use their intuition to make the most appropriate trade-offs.
An important property of systems relating to the Internet is scaleability. When imaging is considered in the context of the Internet, the images are not data; rather, Internet imaging refers to the communication of visual information. Images can be stills, animations, or video. Data becomes information when it is structured, i.e., when associated metadata captures is semantics.
