seem to fit the migrating means algorithm described in richards and jia (2006) and based on the isodata algorithm in ball and hall (1965):

which is in principle the same as k-means.
I wrote a mail to Michael Shapiro, who wrote the code back in the 90's and received this answer:

Georg,

It has been a very long time since I wrote that code so my memory may be 
suspect, but I think that is correct.

Subject: algorithm used in GRASS module i.cluster

Dear Mr Shapiro,
for my diploma thesis I need to know the algorithm implemented in the GRASS GIS module "i.cluster". I had a quick look at the source code and think that it uses an iterative process similar to k-means clustering. Can you confirm this assumption?
Thank you very much in advance!
best regards,
Georg Kaspar
