Fast alternative to 'Merge' command based on XD algorithms
The XD Style Merger is a fast alternative to the standard merge command based on a two step approach of disconnecting and connecting of the respective image objects. The performance gain related to this operation is usually in the order of 2x compared to the traditional merging. For objects which show a huge variation in size - e.g. after a quadtree segmentation - this effect might be even more prominent. In addition to the increase in processing speed the use of the XD Style Merger also allows for a simultaneous merging of different classes thereby avoiding unnecessary code, especially if wrapped into a customised algorithm.
