+# MediaPipe Image Classifier Benchmark
+
+## Download the repository
+
+First, clone this Git repo.
+
+Run this commands to download the TFLite models and image files:
+
+```
+cd mediapipe/mediapipe/tasks/python/benchmark/vision/image_classifier
+wget -O classifier.tflite -q https://storage.googleapis.com/mediapipe-models/image_classifier/efficientnet_lite0/float32/1/efficientnet_lite0.tflite
+wget -O burger.jpg https://storage.googleapis.com/mediapipe-assets/burger.jpg
+```
+
+## Run the benchmark
+```
+bazel run -c opt //mediapipe/tasks/python/benchmark/vision/image_classifier:image_classifier_benchmark
+```
+*   You can optionally specify the `model` parameter to set the TensorFlow Lite
+    model to be used:
+    *   The default value is `classifier.tflite`
+    *   TensorFlow Lite image classification models **with metadata**
+        * Models from [TensorFlow Hub](https://tfhub.dev/tensorflow/collections/lite/task-library/image-classifier/1)
+        * Models from [MediaPipe Models](https://developers.google.com/mediapipe/solutions/vision/image_classifier/index#models)
+        * Models trained with [MediaPipe Model Maker](https://developers.google.com/mediapipe/solutions/customization/image_classifier) are supported.
+*   You can optionally specify the `iterations` parameter to limit the number of
+    iterations for benchmarking:
+    *   Supported value: A positive integer.
+    *   Default value: `100`
+*   Example usage:
+    ```
+    bazel run -c opt :image_classifier_benchmark \
+      --model classifier.tflite \
+      --iterations 200
+    ```
