In image analysis, it is widely assumed that the number of parameters of deformable models is strongly dependent of the image resolution. For highly deformable models, which adapts their topology to their geometrical changes, all explicit and implicit methods have a number of parameters and a time complexity at least linear with the number of pixels or voxels of the component to extract. We show here that a preprocessing of the image can emphasize interesting parts of the image while diminishing the apparent significance of noisy or homogoneous image regions. This zooming effect focuses model parameters and computations on the interesting part of the images. As a consequence, about five time less vertices in 2D and ten times less vertices in 3D are sufficient to extract image components with the same accuracy. Running times are also sped up by a factor ten in 3D.
