In order to work in realistic scenarios, a visual recognition algorithm should have two key properties: robustness and adaptability. This paper focuses on the latter, and presents a discriminative incremental learning approach to place recognition. We use a recently introduced version of the fixed\--partition incremental SVM, which allows to control the memory requirements as the system updates its internal representation. At the same time, it preserves the recognition performance of the batch algorithm and runs online. In order to assess the method, we acquired a database capturing the intrinsic variability of places over time. Extensive experiments show the power and the potential of the approach.}, pdf = {https://publications.idiap.ch/attachments/reports/2006/luo-idiap-rr-06-52.pdf}, postscript = {ftp://ftp.idiap.ch/pub/reports/2006/luo-idiap-rr-06-52.ps.gz}, ipdmembership={vision}, }
