RRI Background and Navigation
1 Relative Reconstruction Improvement (RRI)
This dossier preserves the external motivation and points to the canonical ARIA-NBV treatment. The definition, equations, target conditioning, and evidence status are owned by the Typst thesis and its oracle/method sections. Do not treat this Quarto page as a current contract.
RRI compares reconstruction quality before and after an additional view; the VIN-NBV literature provides the motivating quality-oriented formulation [1]. Surface-distance background is retained in surface metrics. Current metric behavior and acceptance checks are defined by Python docstrings and tests, not by this page.
See docs/typst/thesis/development/roadmap.typ for the current strategic gate view and docs/typst/thesis/sections/01-research-questions.typ for the research-question context. Executable RRI contracts remain in the Python source and tests referenced by those owners.
