Balances color-space proximity and image-space proximity. Higher
values give more weight to image-space. As `compactness` tends to
infinity, superpixel shapes become square/cubic. In SLICO mode, this
is the initial compactness.
Balances color proximity and space proximity. Higher values give
more weight to space proximity, making superpixel shapes more
square/cubic. In SLICO mode, this is the initial compactness.
This parameter depends strongly on image contrast and on the
shapes of objects in the image. We recommend exploring possible
values on a log scale, e.g., 0.01, 0.1, 1, 10, 100, before
refining around a chosen value.

Maximum number of iterations of k-means.
