1. A method of controlling operation of equipment that spools an elongated member on and off a rotatable drum, the method comprising:
obtaining video data of a position of the elongated member on the rotatable drum;
feeding data into a trained artificial neural network;
processing the data fed into the trained artificial neural network to determine at least one quantity of the elongated member; and
actuating the rotatable drum to one of spool the elongated member on and off the rotatable drum,
wherein the elongated member comprises a wireline elongated member that is configured to convey at least one wireline tool in a well.
