Roberto Cipolla (born 3 May 1963)[4] FRS, FREng,[2] is a British researcher in computer vision and Professor of Information Engineering at the University of Cambridge.

[6] In 1992, he returned to the UK and joined the Department of Engineering at the University of Cambridge as a lecturer and a Fellow of Jesus College.

These include novel algorithms for the recovery of accurate 3D shape, visual localisation and tracking, and semantic segmentation and their practical application.

[8] Computer vision technology from Cipolla's research has been exploited in new products by Toshiba (face recognition for access control in varying illumination and a gesture interface for laptops) and Wayve (semantic segmentation for autonomous driving).

[9] Four companies have also been directly spun-out from Cipolla's research team: Metail (3D reconstruction and visualisation of body and clothes for online fitting room) in 2008,[10] Zappar (tracking for Augmented Reality) in 2011, Trya (Snapfeet - 3D modelling of feet for virtual trying on of shoes and size recommendation),[11] and Cambridge Heartwear (Atrial fibrillation detection in wearable ECG) in 2017.
