Approaches for combining object sets within the CombineObjects module. Results represent the output from different methods available within the module. “Merge” will join touching objects and distribute conflicting regions to the nearest object from the initial set. “Preserve” will add only regions of objects from the second set which did not overlap with the initial set. “Discard” will only add objects with no overlap. “Segment” will add both object sets and re-segment disputed regions
