In the work, the software implementation of the face mask recognition system using the Viola-Jones method and fuzzy logic is performed. The initial images are read from digital video cameras or from graphic files. 
Detection of face, eye and mouth positions in images is performed using appropriate Haar cascades. The confidence of detecting a face and its features is determined based on the set parameters of Haar cascades.
Face recognition in the image is performed based on the results of face and eye detection by means of fuzzy logic using the Mamdani knowledge base. Fuzzy sets are described by triangular membership functions. Face mask recognition is performed based on the results of face recognition and mouth detection by means of fuzzy logic using the Mamdani knowledge base. Comprehensive consideration of the results of different Haar cascades in the detection of face, eyes and mouth allowed to increase the accuracy of recognition face and face mask.
The software implementation of the system was made in Python using the OpenCV, Scikit-Fuzzy libraries and Google Colab cloud platform. The developed recognition system will allow monitoring the presence of people without masks in vehicles, in the premises of educational institutions, shopping centers, etc. In educational institutions, a face mask recognition system can be useful for determining the number of people in the premises and for analyzing their behavior.

A STEM project was implemented, which is intended for students of technical specialties to study the principles of building and using a computer system for segmentation of images of railway transport using fuzzy logic. The project consists of 4 stages, namely stage #1 "Reading images from video cameras using a personal computer or Raspberry Pi microcomputer", stage #2 "Digital image pre-processing (noise removal, contrast enhancement, contour selection)", stage #3 "Segmentation of images", stage #4 "Detection and analysis of objects on segmented images by means of fuzzy logic". Hardware and software tools have been developed for the implementation of the STEM project. A personal computer and a Raspberry Pi 3B+ microcomputer with attached video cameras were used as hardware. Software tools are implemented in the Python language using the Google Colab cloud platform. At each stage of the project, students deepen their knowledge and gain practical skills: they perform hardware and software settings, change program code, and process experimental images of vehicles. It is shown that the processing of experimental images ensures the correct selection of meaningful parts in images of vehicles, for example, windows and number plates in images of locomotives. Assessment of students' educational achievements was carried out by testing them before the start of the STEM project, as well as after the completion of the project. The topics of the test tasks corresponded to the topics of the stages of the STEM project. Improvements in educational achievements were obtained for all stages of the project.
