Can k-means clustering maybe indicate to me how well a clustering worked, something like a score? I basically have 3 phases in the images: dark blobs, grayish background, and bright ice patches. Maybe clustering could indicate by scores if a 2 or 3 phase clustering represents the image better?

Here's an implementation of ICM-based clustering:

I wonder if we should include this in the scikit--Emmanuelle, do people actually still use ICM segmentation?

I have to say that I don't know ICM segmentation. It looks very interesting (your code is impressively short!), would you have any reference to suggest for me to read about this algorithm? Thx, Emmanuelle
