As a starting point we use Faster R-CNN method and, to acquire more precise readings, we modify its functionality. As there were no databases for this kind of task, one had to be collected and properly annotated. This paper also provides a brief introduction to methods for image augmentation and a technique to augment annotated image dataset. For each part of the presented method as well as the whole method as one unit experiments were conducted to show the overall successfulness.}, doi = {10.20532/ccvw.2018.0002}, url = {https://doi.org/10.20532/ccvw.2018.0002} }
