<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent:10pt"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif" lang="EN-US">Image and video Inpainting and
Denoising is a hot and challenging research topic that has received much
attention from the computer vision and pattern recognition communities in the
past. The inpainting problem of dealing with missing data or incomplete data in
machine learning and computer vision arises in many applications. Owing to the
development of deep learning and big data, recent advances have gained.
However, it is still challenging to aim at fast, accurate, and robust removal
of occlusions (text, objects or stain) in images and video sequences. This
special issue focuses on image and video inpainting and denoising tasks, that
might benefit from novel methods such as Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs)
or Residual connections. </span></p>
