As far as I know it's not currently being done, but it certainly could be.

I actually got some interesting image view stats out of the sampled page 
view logs for my talk at SVG Open; since thumbnails have the width in 
the URL we can for instance compare the actual usage of different sizes 
of images inline. (Though I only pulled up the data for SVG images for 
this test.)

Annotated presentation slides are up at:

It could be really interesting to pull such hit data straight out of the 
logs and make them available through the wiki, allowing comparing view 
frequencies of a given image over time and large vs small etc.
