How do we differentiate between loading a thumbnail/viewing an article and actually *viewing* an image in that article that is below the fold? Or, when we talk about image views are we only talking about those people who actually click on the image to get a larger size? (sorry if this is a question that has already been answered elsewhere).
We can't. "page views" refers to loading the page. no one can know if it's actually being looked at. Same with images. We'd just track how often the thumbnails get loaded.
Tracking the scroll state of a page, and which images are visible at what time, is possible in theory with javascript, but messy, unreliable, and generally nasty. and pointless: if the image is in plain view without scrolling, you still don't know of it's even in a visible tab or window.
