In recent years, face recognition has become more and more appreciated and considered as one of the most promising applications in the field of image analysis. However, the existing models have a high level of complexity, use a lot of computational resources and need a lot of time to train the model. That is why it has become a promising field of research where new methods are being proposed every day to overcome these difficulties. We propose in this paper a convolutional neural network system for face recognition with some contributions. First we propose a CRelu module, second we use the module to propose a new architecture model based on the VGG deep neural network model. Thirdly we propose a two stage training strategy improved by a large margin inner product and a small dataset and finally we propose a real time face recognition system where face detection is done by a multi-cascade convolution neural network and the recognition is done by the proposed deep convolutional neural network.
