Abstract
The partitioning of two dimensional (2-D) shapes into subparts is an important component of shape analysis. The paper defines a formulation of convexity as a criterion of good part decomposition. Its appropriateness is validated by applying it to some simple shapes as well as against showing its close correspondence with Hoffman and Singh´s (1997) part saliency factors
