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><span style="font-size:10.5pt;color:black" lang="EN-AU"><span></span></span></p>
