Fuzzy Logic is a computational paradigm that models reasoning based on "degrees of truth" rather than the rigid "true or false" binary often found in classical computing. While standard computers utilize Boolean logic to assign values of strictly 0 or 1, fuzzy systems allow for values anywhere between 0 and 1. This flexibility enables Artificial Intelligence (AI) to handle ambiguity, vagueness, and imprecise information, mimicking human cognitive processes more closely when processing complex data.

In traditional computing, an input either belongs to a set or it does not. Fuzzy logic introduces the concept of membership functions, which map input data to a value ranging from 0 to 1, representing the degree of membership. For instance, in a climate control system, a temperature of 75°F might not be simply classified as "hot," but rather as "0.6 warm."

This process generally involves three key stages:

1. Fuzzification: Converting crisp, numerical inputs into fuzzy sets using membership functions.
2. Inference: Applying "If-Then" rules to determining outcomes based on the fuzzy data.
3. Defuzzification: Transforming the fuzzy result back into a precise, actionable output.

This approach is particularly beneficial for handling noisy visual data, where clear boundaries are difficult to define.

In the context of Computer Vision (CV) and Machine Learning (ML), exact pixel values often fluctuate due to lighting, occlusion, or sensor noise. Fuzzy logic bridges the gap between the precise numerical outputs of a neural network and the linguistic interpretations humans use.

Gerçek Dünya Uygulamaları

• Autonomous Driving: Autonomous vehicles utilize fuzzy logic to execute smooth control actions. Instead of braking abruptly when an obstacle is detected, the system assesses the "degree of danger" based on speed and distance to execute a gradual deceleration, ensuring passenger safety and comfort.
• Medical Diagnosis: In medical image analysis, tissues often do not have distinct boundaries. Fuzzy logic helps AI in healthcare systems segment images where tumors blur into healthy tissue, allowing for more nuanced risk assessment and predictive modeling.

Bulanık Mantık ve Olasılık

It is crucial to distinguish fuzzy logic from probability theory, as they are often confused despite addressing different types of uncertainty.

• Probability deals with the likelihood of a future event occurring (e.g., "There is a 50% chance it will rain"). It models randomness.
• Fuzzy Logic deals with the degree of truth of a state (e.g., "The ground is 50% wet"). It models ambiguity in the definition of the event itself.

Pratik Uygulama

In practical object detection workflows, fuzzy logic is often applied during post-processing. Developers can map a model's confidence score to linguistic categories to create sophisticated filtering rules.

The following Python example demonstrates how to apply fuzzy-like categorization to Ultralytics YOLO26 inference results:

from ultralytics import YOLO

# Load the YOLO26 model and run inference
model = YOLO("yolo26n.pt")
results = model("https://ultralytics.com/images/bus.jpg")

# Get confidence score of the first detected object
conf = results[0].boxes.conf[0].item()


# Apply fuzzy linguistic categorization (Membership function logic)
def get_fuzzy_degree(score):
    if score > 0.8:
        return "High Certainty"
    elif score > 0.5:
        return "Moderate Certainty"
    return "Uncertain"


print(f"Score: {conf:.2f} -> Category: {get_fuzzy_degree(conf)}")
