Does Google analytics regards remote access resources as direct access?

For example:
Suppose: mysite.com and anothersite.com
mysite.com has an image found at mysite.com/img/vip.jpg anothersite.com at some page of it like anothersite.com/photos.html included vip.jpg in its source in image tag:

<img src="http://mysite.com/img/vip.jpg" />


So does Analytics regard loading this image when a visitor vists anothersite.com/photos.html to be a direct access for mysite.com?

No is the simple answer.

Analytics work with Javascript which is on a (X)HTML page.

An image would not trigger this call as it does not execute the Javascript.

Use AWStats or some similar server based metrics package to see actual server hits/traffic if you need to.
