daveguy's explanation is correct. It's the simplest form of the Mean Shift algorithm.

  Nope. It would be correct if it said 'For each estimate of the mean, Mean shift defines a window around it and computes the mean of the data points within the window, then repeats the process with this new estimate.' Suppose we had 500 data points. Daveguy's process calculates a separate mean for a window around each data point. Now we have 500 means...and?

    And we shift every point to its corresponding mean. Then, we repeat it until convergence (every point is fixed).

    I was clarifying the sentence which the poster had pointed out as confusing, not the entire description of the algorithm.
