We show that the clusters must be ball-shaped to attain motion-consistency. If clusters are ball-shaped, one can derive conditions under which two clusters attain the global optimum of k-means. We show further that if the gap is sufficient for perfect separation, then an incremental k-means is able to discover perfectly separated clusters. This is in conflict with the impression left by an earlier publication by Ackerman and Dasgupta. The proposed motion-transformations can be used to the new labeled data for clustering from existent ones. %G English %Z TC 12 %Z WG 12.5 %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-04050593/document %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-04050593/file/497040_1_En_10_Chapter.pdf %L hal-04050593 %U https://inria.hal.science/hal-04050593 %~ IFIP %~ IFIP-AICT %~ IFIP-TC %~ IFIP-WG %~ IFIP-TC12 %~ IFIP-AIAI %~ IFIP-WG12-5 %~ IFIP-AICT-583
