algorithm described in @cite Achanta2012.

SLIC (Simple Linear Iterative Clustering) clusters pixels using pixel channels and image plane space
to efficiently generate compact, nearly uniform superpixels. The simplicity of approach makes it
extremely easy to use a lone parameter specifies the number of superpixels and the efficiency of
the algorithm makes it very practical.
