THE IDEA, AT A GLANCE
A mobile-friendly tournament workflow that brings catch submissions, marshal review, and approved standings together. Submitted photographs and decision records support fair competition, with optional experimental vision tools to assist official review.
PROJECT ACCESS
The app launch link activates after a verified live release. Launch monitoring is already scheduled.
Availability is shown as it is verified. An operating control appears only when a supported connection exists.
CAPTURE THE CATCH. KEEP THE TRUST.
Integrity brings catch submissions, official review, and tournament standings into a mobile-friendly workflow. Anglers document the catch; marshals verify the result; everyone follows the same rules.
The app link will be added after a live release is verified.
Follow the event’s capture profile. Board-based entries show the full fish, nose stop, tail, scale, markers, and event token. Release-only profiles keep the fish in the water.
Submit the catch photo and details to the review queue. Upload receipt and scoring approval are separate steps.
The marshal records the official length and decision. Questions can be escalated for a second review.
Approved or adjusted official results feed the leaderboard. Pending submissions do not count.
FAIR PLAY, WITH EXPLAINABLE CHECKS
The strongest review combines the submitted evidence, event rules, and an accountable official. Software can flag questions worth checking; a flag is never proof that an angler cheated.
A SHA-256 fingerprint records the submitted photo’s bytes. An exact match can flag a reused file for review. This is an integrity check, not AI, and it cannot prove when a fish was caught. The hash covers the uploaded file; large photos may be compressed before upload.
Guided capture asks for the full fish and the assigned board or token. Officials can compare the photo with the submitted details while retaining a record of their decisions.
An experimental image fingerprint compares the overall appearance of submitted photographs and flags similarity for review. It is a perceptual image-hash method, not a validated fish-identity or deception model. A similar photograph does not establish that the same fish was submitted twice.
The trial uses four board markers to account for camera perspective, then estimates length from a detected image silhouette and the known scale. It supplies an estimate and review context to the marshal. Testing uses synthetic boards; field accuracy has not been established.
MEASUREMENT THAT CAN BE CHECKED
Full fish · visible nose stop and tail · readable scale · known calibration markers
Map image positions to the board’s known dimensions. Retain the measurement overlay and calibration reference.
Flag blur, obscured endpoints, missing markers, and unsuitable camera angles. Avoid false precision.
Experimental vision estimates are advisory. The marshal checks the submitted photo, enters the official result, and records a reason for adjustments or rejection.
Accurate automated measurement requires known board dimensions and validation against independently measured catches. No measurement-accuracy rate is claimed. The default platform switches are off; organizers can enable supervised tournament trials. These options do not approve, reject, or score catches.
Have the camera and any required board ready before handling the fish. Follow the event’s species-specific handling and release rules, and keep capture brief. Release-only profiles keep fish in the water and do not require board measurement. Do not prolong handling to satisfy a camera indicator or repeat a failed estimate; send uncertainty to the marshal.
FROM VERIFIED RESULT TO LEADERBOARD
The current code refreshes the leaderboard every three seconds and supports event-triggered refresh when the realtime connection is configured. Once the marshal’s decision is saved and the page receives the update, the official result appears in the standings.
This is designed for near-live updates after approval. It is not an instant score at upload, and connectivity can delay delivery. Hosted tournament readiness and a public app address have not yet been verified.
Make catch review and standings more consistent and traceable.
Set a fair standard and explain it. Give participants understandable expectations, officials reviewable records, and organizers a constructive way to resolve questions.
Support fair, practical fishing-tournament administration.
Verify the hosted release and real-device capture, then field-test optional board measurement and similar-photo comparison. Platform switches default to off; supervised tournament trials remain advisory, and marshals control official results.
WHERE THE PROJECT STANDS
A submission stays pending until reviewed. Image integrity does not by itself establish catch authenticity; automated matching remains experimental.
Project goals describe the direction of development. A prototype is an early test version; synthetic demonstrations use fictional material. The interactive exhibition demonstrates selected workflows with fictional records. Separate operational applications retain their own access and deployment requirements.

Strong ideas grow through clear records, honest questions, and a team that learns together. Keep this project’s supporting work close to its purpose.
Most practical near-term route for independent laboratory validation. Select one defined project and an eligible NJ core facility.
Requirements & application steps ↗Environmental or fisheries relevance alone does not establish eligibility. A proposed study must show a real pathway to avoiding or recapturing greenhouse gases or criteria pollutants. ARBOR-SENTINEL and Integrity are only screening candidates.
