Caroline Conti

Caroline Conti is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Information Science and Technology (ISTA) at ISCTE – University Institute of Lisbon, and an Associate Researcher at the Institute of Telecommunications - IUL, where she is part of the Multimedia Signal Processing Group. She holds a PhD in Information Science and Technology from Iscte (2017), a specialization from Instituto Superior Técnico (2013), and a Bachelor’s in Electrical Engineering from the University of São Paulo (2010).

Her research focuses on image and video processing, particularly in light field coding, 3D holoscopic video, and immersive visual technologies. She is a pioneer in light field research in Portugal and has contributed extensively to scalable and robust coding frameworks. Her recent publications emphasize deep learning-based segmentation, disparity estimation, and adaptive over-segmentation for 4D light fields, published in top journals like IEEE Transactions on Image Processing and Signal Processing: Image Communication.

• IBM Scientific Prize (2017)
• Scientific Awards ISCTE-IUL (2016, 2014)
• Best Poster Award at COST Interaction 2014

She has supervised multiple PhD and Master’s students in areas such as deep learning for light field inpainting and saliency detection. She has led and participated in European and national research projects, including the European 3D-ConTourNet and FCT-funded LIMESA. She is actively involved in the academic community as a Guest Editor for Signal Processing: Image Communication and as an Area Chair for IEEE ICIP 2025. She is a founding member and secretary of the Portuguese Chapter of the IEEE Signal Processing Society.
