Research & Proofs

Placeholder — this page is awaiting its first real write-up.

This section will hold formal write-ups of the more involved technical investigations behind ProxyPrints' catalog tooling — the kind of result that's worth a proper narrative explanation rather than a code comment, for readers who want to understand why a particular approach was chosen and how well it was shown to work.

The first planned entry covers the local (zero-API-cost) printing identification pipeline — perceptual hashing and OCR-based matching used to identify which real Magic printing a community-submitted card image depicts, without calling any paid external API. That work is still in active development (the "catalog-completion" effort); this page will be filled in once it reaches a stable, reportable result.
