ISODATA procedure, part 1 — the first pass.

  1. Pick N arbitrary cluster means to start.
  2. Compute the spectral distance between each pixel and every cluster mean.
  3. Assign each pixel to its closest mean.
  4. After the pass, recompute each cluster’s mean using the actual pixels that ended up in it — the means shift in feature space.
  5. Use the new means for the next iteration.
