Section by section review

Will do lead section last.

Definitions: Is there any disagreement on Archimedes and convexity so you need to mention Fenchel instead of stating this is Archimedes in wikivoice?
Probably not something for you to do, but noting here anyway: Unfortunately plane curve muddies the waters by mixing the topological definition with that of an algebraic curve (the solution set of xy=1 is a plane algebraic curve that is not a topological curve).
I don't fully understand your definition of "regular". Do you have a derivative-free definition in mind when you say regular, meaning that the moving point never slows to a halt or reverses direction? You later have regular and has a derivative everywhere, but regular curve is only talking about differentiable curves.
Latecki is a slightly surprising choice for the "boundary of convex set is a convex curve" claim, especially as the chapter starts with "digital concepts". But the citation checks out (p. 42)
Intersection with lines: If you are bored, the characterisation of the intersection types could be nicely illustrated by an image. The "certain other linear spaces" bit is a bit mysterious without some example.
The link "locally equivalent" to local property is likely unhelpful to many readers, so the concept could be explained here a bit.
