How innodb tables are locked when ON INSERT trigger is processed?

Question

I have two innodb tables:

articles

id     | title    | sum_votes
------------------------------
1      | art 1    | 5
2      | art 2    |

try this:

PHP: Star rating system concept?

EDIT: changed schema to allow a user to vote for the same image many times:

drop table if exists image;
create table image
(
image_id int unsigned not null auto_increment primary key,
caption varchar(255) not null,
num_votes int unsigned not null default 0,
total_score int unsigned not null default 0,
rating decimal(8,2) not null default 0
)
engine = innodb;

drop table if exists image_vote;
create table image_vote
(
vote_id int unsigned not null auto_increment primary key,
image_id int unsigned not null,
user_id int unsigned not null,
score tinyint unsigned not null default 0,
key (image_id, user_id)
)
engine=innodb;

delimiter #

create trigger image_vote_after_ins_trig after insert on image_vote
for each row
begin
 update image set 
    num_votes = num_votes + 1,
    total_score = total_score + new.score,
    rating = total_score / num_votes  
 where 
    image_id = new.image_id;
end#

delimiter ;

insert into image (caption) values ('image 1'),('image 2'), ('image 3');

insert into image_vote (image_id, user_id, score) values
(1,1,5),(1,2,4),(1,3,3),(1,4,2),(1,5,1),(1,5,2),(1,5,3),
(2,1,2),(2,2,1),(2,3,4),(2,3,2),
(3,1,4),(3,5,2);

select * from image;
select * from image_vote;
