Using the method of moving frames we analyze the algebra of differential invariants for surfaces in three-dimensional affine geometry. For elliptic, hyperbolic, and parabolic points, we show that if the algebra of differential invariants is non-trivial, then it is generically generated by a single invariant.

Image feature points are detected as pixels which locally maximise a detector function, two commonly used examples of which are the (Euclidean) image gradient and the Harris–Stephens corner detector. A major limitation of these feature detectors is that they are only Euclidean-invariant. In this work, we demonstrate the application of a 2D equi-affine-invariant image feature point detector based on differential invariants as derived through the equivariant method of moving frames. The fundamental equi-affine differential invariants for 3D image volumes are also computed.

The problem of UAV trajectory tracking is a difficult issue for scholars and engineers, especially when the target curve is a complex curve in the three-dimensional space. In this paper, the coordinate frames during the tracking process are transformed to improve the tracking result. Firstly, the basic concepts of the moving frame are given. Secondly the transfer principles of various moving frames are formulated and the Bishop frame is selected as a final choice for its flexibility. Thirdly, the detailed dynamic equations of the moving frame tracking method are formulated. In simulation, a moving frame of an elliptic cylinder helix is formulated precisely. Then, the devised tracking method on the basis of the dynamic equations is tested in a complete flight control system with 6 DOF nonlinear equations of the UAV. The simulation result shows a satisfactory trajectory tracking performance so that the effectiveness and efficiency of the devised tracking method is proved.

AbstractWe propose a new, constructive theory of moving frames for Lie pseudo-group actions on submanifolds. Themoving frame provides an effectivemeans for determining complete systems of differential invariants and invariant differential forms, classifying their syzygies and recurrence relations, and solving equivalence and symmetry problems arising in a broad range of applications.

Abstract This paper extends research into flexible robotics through a collaborative, interdisciplinary senior design project. This paper deploys the Moving Frame Method (MFM) to analyze the motion of a relatively high multi-link system, driven by internal servo engines. The MFM describes the dynamics of the system and enables the construction of a general algorithm for the equations of motion. Lie group theory and Cartan’s moving frames are the foundation of this new approach to engineering dynamics. This, together with a restriction on the variation of the angular velocity used in Hamilton’s principle, enables an effective way of extracting the equations of motion. The result is a dynamic 3D analytical model for the motion of a snake-like robotic system, that can take the physical sizes of the system and return the dynamic behavior. Furthermore, this project builds a snake-like robot driven by internal servo engines. The multi-linked robot will have a servo in each joint, enabling a three-dimensional movement. Finally, a test is performed to compare if the theory and the measurable real-time results match.

In this paper, we generalize the famous Hasimoto's transformation by showing that the dynamics of a closed unidimensional vortex filament embedded in a three-dimensional manifold M of constant curvature, gives rise under Hasimoto's transformation to the nonlinear Schrödinger equation. We also give a natural interpretation of the function ψ introduced by Hasimoto in terms of moving frames associated to a natural complex bundle over the filament.

A local theory of holomorphic curves in the complex hyperquadric is worked out using the method of moving frames. As a consequence a complete global characterization of totally isotropic curves is obtained.

We present a systematic procedure for the determination of a complete set ofkth-order (k≥2) differential invariants corresponding to vector fields in three variables for three-dimensional Lie algebras. In addition, we give a procedure for the construction of a system of twokth-order ODEs admitting three-dimensional Lie algebras from the associated complete set of invariants and show that there are 29 classes for the case ofk= 2 and 31 classes for the case ofk≥3. We discuss the singular invariant representations of canonical forms for systems of two second-order ODEs admitting three-dimensional Lie algebras. Furthermore, we give an integration procedure for canonical forms for systems of two second-order ODEs admitting three-dimensional Lie algebras which comprises of two approaches, namely, division into four types I, II, III, and IV and that of integrability of the invariant representations. We prove that if a system of two second-order ODEs has a three-dimensional solvable Lie algebra, then, its general solution can be obtained from a partially linear, partially coupled or reduced invariantly represented system of equations. A natural extension of this result is provided for a system of twokth-order (k≥3) ODEs. We present illustrative examples of familiar integrable physical systems which admit three-dimensional Lie algebras such as the classical Kepler problem and the generalized Ermakov systems that give rise to closed trajectories.
