Straightening and Partitioning Shapes

A method for partitioning shapes is described based on a global convexity measure. Its advantages are that its global nature makes it robust to noise, and apart from the number of partitioning cuts no parameters are required. In order to ensure that the method operates correctly on bent or undulating shapes a process is developed that identifies the underlying bending and removes it, straightening out the shape. Results are shown on a large range of shapes.
