      \brief KMeans strategy for image classification.
             Step-by-step:
             1. Define a random solution, creating K values of mean.
             2. Classify each pixel according to the closest mean.
             3. Calculate new means using the classified pixels.
             4. Go back to step 2, or stop depending on the following checks:
             5. Check if the new means are different from the previous iteration,
                using the convergence threshold.
             6. Check if maximum number of iterations has achieved.
