Deformable models are 2D or 3D models that offer a data-driven recovery process in which forces deform the model until it fits the data. Global deformation parameters represent the salient shape features of natural parts, and local deformation parameters capture shape details. Instead of having the user determine the deformation parameters, in an elastically adaptive deformable model the elastic parameter values of the deformable models are determined automatically. In particular, the elastic parameters decrease when the model does not fit the data, and increase when the model is close to the data.
