The article describes the application of fuzzy sets and fuzzy logic in image processing problems. The key concepts of these theories and brief description of the types of fuzzy sets are given. The well-known applications of methods of fuzzy image processing in applied problems are considered in detail. The shortcomings of these approaches are shown, directions for improving image processing algorithms based on fuzzy features are proposed.
