A trihedron associated with a point on a surface and defined by a triple of vectors, given by the normal unit vector $ \mathbf n $
to the surface and two mutually orthogonal principal unit tangent vectors $ \mathbf r _ {1} $
and $ \mathbf r _ {2} $
to the surface such that
$$ \mathbf n = \mathbf r _ {1} \times \mathbf r _ {2} . $$
The properties of the surface can be described in terms of displacement of the Darboux trihedron when its base point describes the surface. A systematic use of the Darboux trihedron in the study of surfaces led G. Darboux [1] to the moving-frame method.

Comments
A Darboux trihedron is also called a Darboux frame. It is also introduced in affine differential geometry, cf. [a1].
