+# TensorFlow Java Examples
+
+This repository contains examples for [TensorFlow-Java](https://github.com/tensorflow/java).
+
+## Example Models
+
+There are four example models: a LeNet CNN, a VGG CNN, inference using Faster-RCNN, a linear regression and a logistic regression.  
+
+### Faster-RCNN
+
+The Faster-RCNN inference example is in `org.tensorflow.model.examples.cnn.fastrcnn`. 
+
+Download the model from https://tfhub.dev/tensorflow/faster_rcnn/inception_resnet_v2_1024x1024/1
+
+Unzip then untar the model to a local folder - I've used models/faster_rcnn_inception_resnet_v2_1024x1024.
+
+Create a testimages folder then add some test images into a testimages folder
+
+To run the example add the input image and output image as parameters:
+
+```shell
+java -cp target/tensorflow-examples-1.0.0-tfj-1.0.0-rc.2-with-dependencies.jar org.tensorflow.model.examples.cnn.fastrcnn.FasterRcnnInception testimages/image2.jpg image2rcnn.jpg
+```
+
+### LeNet CNN
+
+The LeNet example runs on MNIST which is stored in the project's resource directory. It is found in 
+`org.tensorflow.model.examples.cnn.lenet`, and can be run with:
+
+```shell
+java -cp target/tensorflow-examples-1.0.0-tfj-1.0.0-rc.2-with-dependencies.jar org.tensorflow.model.examples.cnn.lenet.CnnMnist
+```
+
+### VGG
+
+The VGG11 example runs on FashionMNIST, stored in the project's resource directory. It is found in 
+`org.tensorflow.model.examples.cnn.vgg`, and can be run with:
+
+```shell
+java -cp target/tensorflow-examples-1.0.0-tfj-1.0.0-rc.2-with-dependencies.jar org.tensorflow.model.examples.cnn.vgg.VGG11OnFashionMnist
+```
+
+### Linear Regression
+
+The linear regression example runs on hard coded data. It is found in `org.tensorflow.model.examples.regression.linear`
+and can be run with:
+
+```shell
+java -cp target/tensorflow-examples-1.0.0-tfj-1.0.0-rc.2-with-dependencies.jar org.tensorflow.model.examples.regression.linear.LinearRegressionExample
+```
+
+### Logistic Regression
+
+The logistic regression example runs on MNIST, stored in the project's resource directory. It is found in 
+`org.tensorflow.model.examples.dense.SimpleMnist`, and can be run with:
+
+```shell
+java -cp target/tensorflow-examples-1.0.0-tfj-1.0.0-rc.2-with-dependencies.jar org.tensorflow.model.examples.dense.SimpleMnist
+```

+
+## Development
+
+This repository tracks TensorFlow-Java and the head will be updated with new releases of TensorFlow-Java.
