************************************************************************

*Aims and scope**: * The problem of dealing with missing data or incomplete
data in machine learning arises in many applications. Recent strategies
make use of generative models to impute missing or corrupted data. Advances
in computer vision using deep generative models have found  applications in
image/video processing, such as denoising [1], restoration [2],
super-resolution [3], or inpainting [4,5]. We focus on image and video
inpainting tasks, that might benefit from novel methods such as Generative
Adversarial Networks (GANs) [6,7] or Residual connections [8,9]. Solutions
to the inpainting problem may be useful in a wide variety of computer
vision tasks.

*Book chapter contribution**: *The scope comprises all aspects of image and
video inpainting and denoising. Including but not limited to the following
topics:

   - 2D/3D human pose recovery under occlusion,
   - human inpainting,
   - human retexturing,
   - video decaptioning,
   - temporal occlusion recovery,
   - object recognition under occlusion,
   - fingerprint recognition,
   - fingerprint denoising,
   - future frame video prediction,
   - unsupervised learning for missing data recovery and/or denoising,
   - new data and applications of inpainting and/or denoising.
