Visualizing augmented train images [tensorflow object detection api]

Question

It is possible to augment images in tensorflow object detection api config files, e.g.:

data_augmentation_options {
  random_horizontal_flip {
  }
}
data_augmentation_options {
  ssd_random_crop {
  }
}

How can I visualize the training images to inspect the results of the augmentation?

Thank you for your help.
