T
his article describes the Robot Vision challenge, a
competition that evaluates solutions for the visual
place classification problem. Since its origin, this
challenge has been proposed as a common benchmark where worldwide proposals are measured
using a common overall score. Each new edition of the competition introduced novelties, both for the type of input data
and subobjectives of the challenge. All the techniques used by the participants have been

gathered up and published to make it accessible for future
developments. The legacy of the Robot Vision challenge
includes data sets, benchmarking techniques, and a wide
experience in the place classification research that is reflected
in this article.
The Challenge Over Time
The Robot Vision challenge started as part of
the ImageCLEF lab in 2009. The challenge
has since been organized five times, initially devoted to image-based place
categorization, how to determine
