Drawing upon a micro-study of two districts, Ghazipur and Mau in Uttar Pradesh, this paper tries to explore the extent of dalit women elected representatives' (DWER) participation in decision making process at grassischolar_mains level. It also argues that participation of DWERs in Panchayati Raj Institutions is in worst position in terms of their power structure which controls and guides the development programmes of a society. This paper focuses on the understanding of different hindering factors in women's full participation in political process. The study also reveals very pertinent observations regarding the limited and restricted political space given to DWERs in Panchayati Raj Institutions.Full Text

Multi-scale retinex (MSR) processing has been shown to be an effective way to enhance image contrast, but it often has an undesirable desaturating effect on the image colors. A color-restoration method can help mitigate this effect, but our experience is that it simply leads to other problems. In this paper we modify MSR so that it preserves color fidelity while still enhancing contrast. We then add neural-net based color constancy processing to this modified version of MSR. The result is a principled approach that provides the contrast enhancement.

Recorded color images differ from direct human viewing by the lack of dynamic range compression and color constancy. Research is summarized which develops the center/surround retinex concept originated by Edwin Land through a single scale design (SSR) to a multi-scale design with color restoration (MSRCR). The MSRCR synthesizes dynamic range compression, color constancy, and color rendition and, thereby, approaches fidelity to direct observation.
A computation for color images that approaches fidelity to scene observation must combine dynamic range compression, color consistency-a computational analog for human vision color constancy-and color and lightness tonal rendition. We refer to the computational analog to human vision color constancy as color consistency. When the dynamic range of a scene exceeds the dynamic range of the recording medium, there is an irrevocable loss of visual information at the extremes of the scene dynamic range.
