Illustration of the forces acting on the pixels to form the clusters (image adopted from [36]): With the variance term (yellow arrows), the pixels are drawn in the direction of the cluster mean (crosses). The distance term (red arrows) pushes the different clusters apart. Both forces are only active as long as the threshold values are not reached (inner circle for the cluster variance and outer circle for the distance).
