Demonstration of the kernel saturation tendency. The upper half of the figure gives an example for a mode seeking procedure with n simultaneously iterated kernel windows. Consecutive iterations are marked with "IT", and the length of the arrows are proportional to the length of the shift of the given kernel's mean. Saturated kernels are filled, with a thick black silhouette highlighting the first such iteration. Each consecutive iteration for that kernel is redundant. The bottom half illustrates the number of mean shift steps versus the percentage of saturated kernels.
