What is the most efficient way to obtain the centroid of each cluster of centroids in the matrix produced by 'kmeans' cluster analysis?

I am counting geese in large flocks in aerial photos using the 'detectSURFFeatures' function to identify individual geese. This gives me multiple feature centroids clustered at each goose image, which I analyze with 'kmeans'. I am currently sorting the resulting matrix of centroid values on cluster labels and using loops to calculate the mean centroid value for each cluster (see attached code).

The most efficient way would be to get the second return argument of kmeans(). I mean, it gives you the cluster centers so why not accept them?

That's what I thought reading the documentation, but wasn't sure. Thank you again for help with application of cluster analysis.
