What the article says around this equation

An estimator is generated by a positive-operator-valued measure $M_F(d\hat g)$ on the fragment. Covariance requires that rotating the encoded state by h rotates the distribution of estimates by the same group action. In schematic form, $M_F(d(h\hat g))= U_F(h)M_F(d\hat g)U_F(h)^\dagger$ . Group-covariant estimation is established machinery. Bagan, Baig, and Muñoz-Tapia derived optimal strategies for transmitting and estimating Cartesian frames with finite spin systems [ 5 ] . Chiribella, D’Ariano, and Sacchi treated optimal estimation of group transformations under a class of invariant cost functions and connected the construction directly to reference-frame transmission [ 6 ] . The novelty proposed here is not the covariant…

The novelty proposed here is not the covariant POVM. It is using an operational estimation threshold to define environmental record redundancy.
