Mladenov, Ivaïlo M. (ed.) et al., Proceedings of the 5th international conference on geometry, integrability and quantization, Sts. Constantine and Elena, Bulgaria, June 5–12, 2003. Sofia: Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (ISBN 954-84952-8-7/pbk). 67-80 (2004).
Since the method of moving frames was introduced by G. Darboux and developed by E. Cartan it has become a powerful tool for discussing geometric properties of submanifolds with respect to a transformation group in differential geometry. A new approach to moving frames, defining them as equivariant maps from the manifold \(M\) to the Lie group acting on \(M\) is due to the author. The present paper is a good survey of one of the main contributors to the theory of moving frames indicating applications in geometry, computer vision, classical invariant theory and numerical analysis.
