Abstract: Disclosed is a video switching method, a device, and a video patrol system. The method comprises: receiving a video switching instruction to determine a display device corresponding to a to-be-played video; determining whether there is a currently played video in the determined display device; if so, determining a task identifier corresponding to the currently played video; closing the currently played video according to the task identifier; and sending the video to be played to the display device for playing. When the video played in the display device needs to be switched, the task identifier corresponding to the currently played video in the display device is determined first, and the video is closed according to the task identifier. Then, the to-be-played video is sent to the display device for playing. This shows that the currently played video is normally shutdown, thereby avoiding an unknown error caused by abnormal closing of the video.

Abstract: A method for using a computing device for modifying a lower dynamic range image to a higher dynamic range image is described. According to the method, a lower dynamic range image including a plurality of pixels is analyzed by estimating a dark channel of the plurality of pixels of the lower dynamic range image. A histogram of the dark channel is analyzed by determining the brightest peak and a local minima of the histogram. Using the local minima of the histogram as a threshold for specular highlight determination, a binary mask for specular highlight determination is computed. A final mask is created by multiplying the luminance value of the lower dynamic range image with the binary mask. The final mask is then used to determine the higher dynamic range image. A system for converting a lower dynamic range image to a higher dynamic range image displays the higher dynamic range image on a higher dynamic range display.
