Biography
Federica Battisti is Associate Professor in the Department of Information Engineering at University of Padova.
She received the Laurea (Master of Science) in Electronic Engineering from Università degli Studi Roma Tre, Rome, Italy, in July 2006. From August 2005 to February 2006 she worked as a Research Assistant at Tampere International Center for Signal Processing (TICSP) in Tampere University of Technology (TUT) located in Tampere, Finland. Her work in TICSP resulted in her master thesis titled ‘Data hiding techniques in the Fibonacci domain’. During her staying in TICSP, she had been involved in a Human Visual System based image quality assessment project. This work was a part of a bigger research to obtain perceptually reliable objective image quality metrics. From November 2006 to November 2009, she has been a Ph.D. student in Telecommunication Engineering at Università degli Studi Roma Tre and in March 2010 she received the Ph.D. degree with a thesis titled ‘Multimedia data hiding based on human perception characteristics’. From December 2010 to July 2020 she has been non-tenured Assistant Professor in the Department of Engineering at Università degli Studi Roma Tre.
Her main research interests are signal and image processing with focus on subjective quality analysis of visual contents. Her research activity started with the design and implementation of watermarking techniques for granting the ownership protection of images. The investigation on this topic led to the study of quality issues related to the watermark invisibility that resulted in the definition of new image quality metrics and in the contribution to the creation of a widely used database for quality metrics benchmark. The interest on image quality was later extended to video and multi-view imaging.
Currently, the area of interest is in the quality assessment of immersive media.
She serves as Editor-in-Chief for Signal Processing: Image Communication, Elsevier (2024- present).
She is Chair of the EURASIP Visual Information Processing Special Area Team (2025 – present).
She is Vice-Chair of the IEEE P3333.1.4_WG – Human factors for the Quality Assessment of Light Field Imaging Working Group (November 2020 – present).
She is an IEEE Senior member (2015 – present).
