title = "Two-dimensional shape decomposition based on structures in a fuzzy relation matrix",
abstract = "Shape decomposition is mainly motivated by structural shape description methods. Given a complex shape it is possible to decompose it into simpler sub-parts, that are well described by scalar global features, and then use the sub-parts in order to compose a structural description of the shape. This paper presents a shape decomposition method that performs decomposition of a polygonal approximation of the shape, into nearly convex sub-parts which are possibly overlapping, by locating structures in a fuzzy relation matrix. The fuzzy relation that is used to construct the fuzzy relation matrix, is defined on the set of the polygon vertices by a membership function that has a maximal value when the line connecting two vertices is contained completely within the polygon, and decreases as the deviation of this line from the polygon increases.",
