In a recent paper, Krinidis and Chatzis proposed a variation of fuzzy c-means algorithm for image clustering. The local spatial and gray-level information are incorporated in a fuzzy way through an energy function. The local minimizers of the designed energy function to obtain the fuzzy membership of each pixel and cluster centers are proposed. In this paper, it is shown that the local minimizers of Krinidis and Chatzis to obtain the fuzzy membership and the cluster centers in an iterative manner are not exclusively solutions for true local minimizers of their designed energy function. Thus, the local minimizers of Krinidis and Chatzis do not converge to the correct local minima of the designed energy function not because of tackling to the local minima, but because of the design of energy function.
