Abstract: Face recognition is an active area of research in computer vision. It is one of the fastest growing biometric systems over the past years. Several research efforts have been carried out to recognize the face images using different techniques ranging from appearance-basedmethod, feature based method and hybrid method with different results. However, face recognition is a challenging task due to the facial expressions, occlusions, variations in pose and illumination variation etc. To handle the pose and illumination variation in face images, this paper developed an architecture for face recognition using deep neural network. Convolutional neural network is trained to recognize the face images. The developed method is tested on ORL database by varying feature maps to find the best architecture. Results showed that the proposed method with architecture 15-90-150 provide better results compared to the state of art methods. It is also proved that the proposed model is robust to pose and illumination variation.
