Please revise introduction. The comparison of existing methodologies should be more clearly presented and justification of presented methodology should be given.
Please cite the most important references to address scientific problem. The structure of paper should be given in introduction.
The strengths and weaknesses of applied approach need to be highlighted.
I suggest that the limitation of study should be addressed as well as future research guidelines need to be provided in conclusions.
