  abstract = {{W}e present a method of grouping edge elements upon the relation of smoothed continuity. {T}his method is based upon the optimization of a quality function of curvature and edge intensity, from a local to a global level. {I}t is implemented with a network of locally-connected processing elements. {T}his method was first designed to deal with dot images and then was applied to the problem of road extraction in satellite images. {T}he extension to satellite images has been achieved by means of constraints from low level vision algorithms and a dynamic exploitation of results of the grouping process. {T}his method copes with a complex combinatorial problem allowing an efficient and parallel solution to be found. {E}xperimental results on synthesis and natural satellite images show the validity of the approach and its possible incorporation into general computer vision systems.
