Abstract

A method and system for verifying the accuracy of a copy of the Holy Quran and other Arabic documents is disclosed. The method includes preparing a digital master of an Arabic document and sizing the digital image to preselected dimensions, making gamma corrections and converting gray images to black or white and comparing a printed copy with said digital master and marking differences to indicate artifacts and omissions.

Claims

1. A method for verifying the accuracy of a printed copy of Arabic documents from a digital master image comprising the following steps:

situating a scanner with an Arabic document in a preparatory position relative to a book support member, for scanning;

cleaning a page of the Arabic document before scanning;

scanning the Arabic document;

preparing a digital master image of the Arabic document comprising gray images and sizing the digital master image to preselected dimensions using a computer;

making gamma corrections and converting the gray images to black images or white images, using a computer;

comparing a printed copy of the digital master image with said digital master image and marking differences to indicate artifacts and omissions, using a computer.

2. The method for verifying the accuracy of a printed copy of Arabic documents from a digital master image according to claim I, in which artifacts and omissions are indicated with different colors.

3. The method for verifying the accuracy of the copy of Arabic documents from a digital master image according to claim 2, further comprising displaying the gamma corrections side-by-side.

4. A system for verifying the accuracy of a printed copy of Arabic documents from a digital master image, the system comprising:

at least one processor; and

a non-transitory computer readable medium connected to the at least one processor, wherein the at least one processor is configured to execute a set of instructions for;

situating a scanner with an Arabic document in a preparatory position relative to a book support member, for scanning;

cleaning a page of the Arabic document before scanning;

scanning the Arabic document;

receiving a digital image of the scanned Arabic document and sizing the digital image to preselected dimensions;

making gamma corrections to the digital image of the Arabic document and converting any gray images to black images or white images;

comparing the scanned image of the Arabic document with the received digital image; and

marking differences between the scanned image and the digital image to indicate artifacts or omissions.

5. The system for verifying the accuracy of a printed copy of Arabic documents from a digital master image according to claim 4, in which differences in artifacts are indicated in a first color and differences in omissions are indicated in a second color.

6. The system for verifying the accuracy of a printed copy of Arabic documents from a digital master image, according to claim 5, in which the first or second color is superimposed on each artifact or omission.

7. A system for verifying the accuracy of the text in a copy of the Holy Quran from a digital master image, said system comprising of:

at least one processor; and

a non-transitory computer readable medium connected to the at least one processor, wherein the at least one processor is configured to execute a set of instructions for;

situating a scanner, with a triangular scanning head, with copy of the Holy Quran in a preparatory position, for scanning;

blowing air across a page of the Holy Quran before scanning;

scanning the Holy Quran to produce a scanned image of the Holy Quran;

receiving the digital image of the Holy Quran and sizing the digital image to preselected dimensions;

comparing the scanned image of the copy of the Holy Quran with the received digital image of the Holy Quran; and

marking differences between the scanned image and the received digital image to indicate artifacts or omissions.

8. The system for verifying the accuracy of the text in a copy of the Holy Quran from a digital master image according to claim 7, in which differences in artifacts are indicated by a first color and differences in omissions are indicated in a different color.

9. The system for verifying the accuracy of the text in a copy of the Holy Quran from a digital master image according to claim 7, in which the first and second colors are superimposed on said artifacts and omissions.

10. (canceled)

11. A system for verifying the accuracy of the text in a copy of the Holy Quran from a digital master image, said system comprising of:

at least one processor; and

a non-transitory computer readable medium connected to the at least one processor, wherein the at least one processor is configured to execute a set of instructions for;

situating a scanner, with a triangular scanning head, with copy of the Holy Quran in a preparatory position, for scanning;

blowing air across a page of the Holy Quran before scanning;

scanning the Holy Quran to produce a scanned image of the Holy Quran;

receiving the digital image of the Holy Quran and sizing the digital image to preselected dimensions;

storing a perfect copy parameter in the non-transitory computer readable medium;

storing a scanned copy parameter In the non-transitory computer readable medium;

storing a display preferences parameter in the non-transitory computer readable medium;

comparing the scanned image of the copy of the Holy Quran with the received digital image of the Holy Quran;

determining whether any inaccuracy, omissions, or additions are present in the scanned image based on the perfect copy parameter and the scanned copy parameter; and

storing any inaccuracies, omissions, or additions in the non-transitory computer readable medium as identified artifacts parameters.

12. The system for verifying the accuracy of the text in a copy of the Holy Quran from a digital master image of claim 11, further comprising:

executing a set of instructions for modifying the scanned copy parameter to highlight identified artifacts based on the display preferences parameter.

13. The system for verifying the accuracy of the text in a copy of the Holy Quran from a digital master image of claim 11, further comprising:

executing a set of instructions for displaying information stored in the perfect copy parameter, the scanned copy parameter, and the identified artifacts parameter, based on the display preferences parameter, to a user.
